Goliath

Stone Skin

Goliaths are massive. They average between 7 to 8 feet tall, making them even taller than dragonborn and half-orcs.   Goliath skin is often gray or brown and is extremely tough (often compared to stone). One of the most distinctive features of the goliath is the darker (often vertically symmetrical) patches of skin that cover their entire bodies. Goliaths believe that these markings somehow explain or control their destiny. For this reason, goliaths never tattoo themselves as this could affect their future.   Goliaths are also known for their extensively long arms, some have been seen to scrape along the floor, twitching uncontrollably. These tank like arms come in useful for all manners of combat or graft related activities. Goliaths will often compare arm sizes to each other, with the longer of the group being considered superior.
