Half Giant

Half Giants are big humanoids, rumored to be from giant stock, but more likely from very big and hardy human stock. They live in the northern coastal tundras of Mahagra and surrounding lands and wilds, and are known for their ship-building and crafting techniques, as well as their previous tendencies towards raiding and slaving.

Typically large, muscular (though with a layer of subcutaneous fat), and strong of bone and stature, they still carry some of that tribal ferocity with them. They are typically not dark of skin, but their hair ranges from black to brown to blonde to red.

While magic is not a common thing for half Giants to use – most rely on their friends and allies, the Fiends, for magical support – and they don't usually take well, societally, to the rigorous study of magic, some half giants do use magic. Typically, these are shamans and sorcerers, however.

Powerful build: The physical stature of half-giants lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

Whenever a half-giant is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the half-giant is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him.

A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him.

A half-giant can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size.



Large Size: Armor costs twice as much to make (including enchantment costs) for a Half Giant, due to their size. Weapons above medium size used by a half giant also cost (large weapons cost twice as much.)
