Needs-a-Name are odd looking creatures, standing roughly five feet tall on average, but with a much smaller torso and head than a human, while having longer, heavily muscled limbs that have no fewer than two more joints than the corresponding human limb, ending in hands and feet much larger than a human's.
Needs-a-Name
Abilities: +2 Strength, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma - needs-a-name are wild, feral creatures, with little care for learning or social grace, but they are quite strong.
Type: Monstrous Humanoid (Goblinoid). As a monstrous humanoid, needs-a-names are proficient with all simple weapons, but do not gain proficiency with any armor or shield.
Medium: As a medium creature, needs-a-names do not have any special bonuses or penalties due to their size (but see below).
Base Land Speed: Thirty feet.
Powerful Build: The physical stature of a needs-a-name lets him function in many ways as if he were one size category larger. Whenever a needs-a-name is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the needs-a-name is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A needs-a-name is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A needs-a-name can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.
Slight Build: The physical stature of needs-a-names lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category smaller. Whenever a needs-a-name is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as Hide), the needs-a-name is treated as one size smaller if doing so is advantageous to the character. A needs-a-name is also considered to be one size smaller when "squeezing" through a restrictive space. Unlike other Slight Build creatures, a needs-a-name cannot use weapons designed for a creature one size smaller without the normal penalty. Further, the space and reach of a needs-a-name remain those of a creature of their actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.
Automatic Language: Common
Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Orc
Favored Class: Barbarian. A multiclass needs-a-name's barbarian class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
Level Adjustment: +0
So, just a weird thought I had. I have no idea how powerful combining Slight and Powerful Build really is, but I'm curious what people think.
