gives them almost supernatural reactions.

The cyclopes are giants, standing taller than even the
trolls. Other than their size and single eye, they appearance
resembles that of humans.

Most cyclopes are soft-spoken, hardworking individuals.
Their nomadic existence in harsh lands makes them a simple,
honest people, with little time from frivolities.

not bad.just a few questions though.
*Languages:* Elven
why elven?and no common?surely all pc races should be able to speak
common?
Evil Eye Cyclops Racial Power
The eye of a cyclops sees more than others.
At-Will
Immediate Reaction Personal
*Effect:* You make a melee basic attack against the attacker.
er.....this sounds like they get a free basic attack,each time they're
attacked in melee.that's just too powerful.maybe once per encounter,or
something like this:
'i saw that coming' Racial Power
once per encounter,as an Immediate Reaction,you may make a basic melee
attack,against an enemy that just hit you.if it hits,they enemy is
dazed and prone,until the end of your next turn.
that sounds a little better.what do you think?

i still think that's too powerful,mate.seriously.
considering,at least half of most pc groups are melee,and most hit
about 65% of the time,you're almost guaranteed an extra attack or
two.far too powerful.
example:a def and 2 strikers attack a cyclops.per turn,chances are one
of them is going to miss the cyclops.this gives the cyclops at least
one more attack than it should get.and considering they're going to be
carrying large sized weapons,this will hurt a lot.
once per encounter would be better.
take a look at all the races in the phb 1+2.most half an encounter
power as racial,not an at will.especially one so nasty.
