Talk:Cyclops (5e Race)

The flavorful problems are as follows: 1. You need to add a description to the race 2. The Brutal trait seems misnamed 3. A curse is a lasting hex placed on someone or something not a massive storm.

As for the mechanical problems: 1. You need to specify a size, I would recommend large for a cyclops 2. Rename Very Thick Skin and reword it as "While not wearing armor you may calculate your AC as 15+your Dex modifier" 3. Don't make a maximum Dex bonus to AC in Very Thick Skin-a melee fighter should have a higher AC than 17 and one of the subraces even gives a bonus to Dex 4. One Eye is horrible-perception is one of the most useful skills in the game 5. Don't give them proficiency in another skill-just remove this and One Eye 6. Water/Earth Healing are insanely good- in combat they recover a lot of health and outside of combat you never need healing 7. Find Steed isn't very useful because Cyclopes are presumably large sized and can't ride horses or hippocampi but gaining Storm of Vengeance, a 9th level spell, at level 10 is way too good-druids get 1 use of it per day at level 17, the persuasion check is not enough to offset that 8. Make fire resistant fire resistance, not fire immunity
