Half-Giant

Half-giants typically stand from 7 feet to over 8 feet tall and weigh from 250 to 450 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Half-Giants are not truly half giant, they are humans with giant blood in their lineage, similar to Aasimar and Tielfing. Due to their giant blood, half-giants are weak to fire. Many half giants are outcasts in society since regular folk tend to fear them due to their immense size and strength.

Game Statistics (3.5e)

• +4 Strength, -2 Dexterity
• Size: Medium
• Speed: 30 ft.
• Powerful Build: The physical stature of a half-giant lets him function in many ways as if he were one size category larger. 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. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.
• Fire Vulnerable: Half-giants have vulnerability to fire.
• Low-light vision: Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-light vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.
