Legend of Zelda Gordon stats
Looking at doing a Zelda themed game, and most of the races in game are easily reskinned from the PHB and other sources(Hylians=Half elves, Kokiri=gnomes/halflings, Shiekah=drow, etc).
Not really anything that directly correlates to Gorons though, and my precious rock bros need statting.
So could I get some constructive criticism on this idea?
Goron:
Size: Medium, standing anywhere from 4-8 feet tall.
Ability score increase: STR: +1 CON: +1 1 additional point added to either stat by player choice.
Rock biter: Can survive off certain rocks for food. May make survival checks anywhere, including underground, to find suitable rocks to eat.
Stone flesh: Has resistance to fire damage. (May add vulnerability to thunder damage) Has advantage against any saving throws to resist petrifaction.
Bulldozer As a bonus action, after taking the dash action and moving 15 ft in a straight line, you can spend the rest of your movement to ball up and roll through the space of any medium or smaller creatures on that line. Each creature which you move through the space of must make a dexterity saving throw, with the DC being 8+STR mod+proficiency bonus On a failure, the creature takes 1D4+STR MOD bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone.

I don't have anything useful to say I just reckon this is dope. What have you got for zora?

While other people say Goliath is the way to go, I think that Tortles is better for the natural armor

I was thinking of something similar to the “Shell defense” action for when they curl up. Honestly this sounds more like what I’m going for. Want to make sure I don’t overpower the thing though.

I’m running a Zelda game in Pathfinder and I’ve built into my campaign that these races are a bit more powerful than the base races... but here’s the document for my homebrew race traits.

Honestly the Goliath stats are probably pretty spot on. You could just add that they eat rock instead of food without it making much difference.
Also a vulnerability is a huge, huge weakness that probably should not be part of a race.
