I think that, in general, you're being excessively generous with purple. Purple should impress me, not make me think 'yeah, that's a logical choice.'

In particular Half-Orcs and Orcs should probably not be purple if you're explicitly acknowledging that there are better Orc-flavored options out there.

Ack! The huge pic and broken url tags in the first post! Forsooth!

Seconded. With all the purple around, there's no granularity in the rating and the actual meaning of "best" gets dilluted. Some options are, presumably, better than others, but with so much at the same rating you can't tell which of them are, just that they're all on the good side of the scale.

Yeah I saw the picture was too huge. What are the tags to shrink it?

I posted that at work while working. I can bump most of them down a spot to give the better ones a chance to shine.

most of the links weren't yet done. Its still under construction ;)

You can specify a width or height.  If you only specify one, the other will be whatever is necessary to preserve the aspect ratio.  Here's an example.

Humans didn't make the race list?  I would think their bonus feat would be helpful.  And perhaps mention Changelings for easy access to Warshaper?  The immunities and extra reach definitely can come in handy.

For feats maybe Pain Mastery and Involuntary Rage.  Since you cannot die from damage, might as well use the former to pump that STR even higher.  And for the latter, though the feat has the word "Rage" in the name, the description in the feat nowhere actually mentions the rage ability, so there should be no problem with overlapping or whatnot.

Also, isn't there an Ettercap Berserker feat that gives you extra CON boosts when raging?  Probably be helpful to include, if you have room in your feats.
