Strong arm and the dwarven race

I recently made a dwarf..I have been loving him to. I recently found out only mithral hall dwarves can learn strong arm. I strongly believe this feat shoud be a given for all of the dwarven races not just those who chose good align and mithral hall as the starting point. Dwarves are small in size in canon but are treated when wielding weapons to be like a medium sized race. I was just posting this to see others thoughts and opinions on this matter and to discuss it.

If you feel a feat or skill or language etc is too limited in availability, e-mail builders with the details for them to consider adding it to a suitable trainer.

If the proposal is not for something which is not limited by a quest, then likely it will be added in time.

ah hehe it's the code. Dwarves not starting in Mithral hall can get there when accompanied by another dwarf if they aren't of evil heart but code restricts it from being trained for the moment ^.^ Mmm although now I have the urge to submit an app to build a dwarven mine not just for the good side of dwarves maybe ^.^

I'm aware that this thread wasn't set up for this originally, but I have a proposal to make:

I understand that Dwarves are made small sized because it gives them some of their bonuses that are difficult to imitate otherwise.

I have a proposal, however, to this. Since Dwarves already have to spend a feat to be able to wield weapons the normal size category they should already be able to wield, I was wondering if they could get a bonus to their carry weight for taking the feat that would increase their max carry weight by 1/4th (which would make them able to carry as much as a normal medium sized character for their strength).

Realistically, aside from having to spend a feat to be able to wield medium weapons, this is the only issue I have with Dwarves being small.

I thought they already had a significant carry weight adjustment? My dwarf can carry a ton more than my human PC with the same strength stat.

My dwarf can carry much less than my human and elf characters that have the same strength.

Gilain can carry the most of all my characters, though he is maxed on strength. *shrug* Would be interesting to seem some kind of bonus attached to strong arm besides the weapon size adjustment, even if it is 1 extra point of strength.

You have higher strength on your Dwarf than you do your other character then.

Even my old code Dwarf has 3/4ths the carry weight of a normal medium sized creature.

Edit: That was to Caelnai.
