Support Issue: Basic Rules
The Issue: Ancestry: Jotunn
Rank: "C"
Skill: Heritage Trait
Effect: User is a descended from the giants who ruled the mountain spanning the empire of the world in ages past, and possess a truly impressive stature.
Special: ---
Drawback: Cannot gain any other Ancestry Traits.
Description: Ancestors of the Jotunn lose +2 points to any 1 IMPACT-L, however, they gain +2 Might, + 2 Perception, -2 Agility. Whenever the user Roleplays they are treated as Large if that's advantageous to the user. Movements, and Damage Reduction is equal to that of a Large Creature while maintaining the Medium Size. The user is also considered to be Large when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as Swallow Whole) affect the user. If the user wishes to determine their character's height and weight randomly, their base height is 6' 4" (male) or 6' 0" (female), and your base weight is 170 lb. (male) or 150 lb. (female). This trait replaces 1 Freebies.
Limit: Must start with Character; replaces 1 Freebies.
I wouldn't normally ask about something like this, but i really couldn't find this anywhere, the Jotunn ancestry trait states that the user has movements and DR equal to a large creature's, but when the handbook mentions size the only differences it shows between sizes are a Stealth modifier, Natural Armor modifier, and Natural attacks (Unarmed, etc.). Nothing about movements though, am i missing something? Was that just an oversight? Basically, are there any benfits/downsides to being considered large not mentioned in the handbook? I assume with this Trait you'd also be able to weild oversized weapons but i'm not sure, it doesn't make a huge difference either way, i just want to be sure on how it works.
