While you might be considering giving the Minotaur a 10-foot reach or an ability like the Bugbear's long limbed (which increases its reach when attacking on its own turn), I'd advise against it. In 5e, reach is not an inherent property of size, so there's not a major benefit in being able to threaten non-adjacent spaces for opportunity attacks, as long as you keep the standard 5-foot reach intact. The drawbacks to being Large - like having a hard time taking cover, squeezing a lot, and being unable to block small creatures in combat - are probably balanced by the benefits - like being able to grapple bigger creatures and occupying a wider space, which allows threatening opportunity attacks against a bigger area and physically blocking more squares against Medium to Huge creatures. Largeness is not, in and of itself, a particular problem.

I saw the same question was asked for D&D 4e, but I know nothing about that system and the provided answers seem fairly system-specific.īeing a Large PC is probably not a big deal
What are the advantages and disadvantages a Large PC would have? Are any of them game-breaking in a way where they either become overpowered in a standard group of player characters, or become a liability for the group?Īs we are not planning to play a published adventure, I am not overly worried about important story-related spaces not being accessible to them due to their size, as that is something I can adjust in my preparations.
However, before I allow this, I want to be aware of any potential pitfalls this might run into. The Minotaur and Centaur playable races have the size set as Medium for player characters - but both I and my players feel that it would be more fun and interesting to have them be Large creatures, similar to what the respective NPC stat blocks suggest. My group is interested in playing a campaign in the Theros setting with PCs being a bunch of mythological creatures.
