Half-Giant

Overview
Half-Giants are the result of coupling between various kinds of giants and humans. The two most common types are mixtures with Hill Giants and Forest Giants, though there are mixtures with many other kinds. Half-Giants, in general, are considered slow-witted and brutish compared to their human relatives, but they are immensely stronger. They can be more intelligent and charming than their Giant relatives, but are considered weaklings and runts by comparison.

Physical Description: Half-Giants tend to resemble their giant-parent in terms of coloration and hair patterns, while they are closer to Human in terms of size. They are more muscular and taller than Humans, roughly in between the size of their parents. They average around 8-feet in height typically, which seems to be the most extreme end of Human height.

Society: Half-Giants either integrate into the society of either of their parents, or they become loners. Because of their rarity, and because of Humans willingness to embrace half-breeds by comparison to giants, Half-Giants can typically be found living alongside other humans.

Relations: Half-Giants tend to live at the periphery of society, and thus they tend to get along well with Half-Orcs and other outcasts. Half-Giants are shunned by Dwarves due to their racial animosity, and their size can be unnerving to smaller races like Gnomes and Halflings.

Alignment and Religion: Half-Giants can be any alignment, like their human parent. They have a slight tendency towards the evil alignment in many cases. Alcaeus, the god of Strength and Mountains, is a favorite among Half-Giants. Tangueril and Brigga are also commonly worshipped.

Adventurers: Because of their strength, Half-Giants tend toward the martial classes. Barbarian is a common class for them, as is Fighter. Half-Wood Giants often become Rangers. Some have potential to become Sorcerers, though this is very uncommon.

Age: Half-Giants age at the same rate as Half-Elves.
