Created by some magick far in the past, the race of half-giants were the
result of special cross-breeding of humans and the giants rumored to inhabit
the islands in the Sea of Eternal Dust. Half-giants appear much like a human,
but with highly exaggerated features, and with skin tones which sometimes
go into the reds. Half-giants stand roughly between 120 and 150 inches tall.
From their giant kin, half-giants have inherited incredible size and
strength, and their endurance is matched only by muls and sturdy dwarves.
Possibly due to the magick which birthed half-giants, however, they are
infamously stupid and have very low wisdoms. In addition, because of their
great size, half-giants are typically slow to move and have low agilities.
Half-giants, because of their great size, cannot usually wear clothing or
armor designed for smaller demihumans.
Roleplaying:
Half-giants have no culture to speak of. Possessed of astounding degrees
of curiosity and kindness (usually), half-giants very willingly adopt
the customs of those nearby, and especially the customs of friends. This
trait can be either a benefit or a serious detriment to those friends
(or neighbours), depending on the circumstances. Half-giants are able to
switch their loyalties very quickly, and some races (such as elves) find
this to be intolerable.
Half-giants are a karma-required race and not available to new players.
