You grew up in harsh conditions — a mining village, the city streets, the open steppes — it doesn't matter. From a young age, you knew someone had to take the hit so others could stand. And that someone was you. When your parents were gone, you took their place. When the tax collectors came, you stood in the doorway. When illness struck the younger ones, you carried them to the temple yourself.
You're no hero from a legend. You are the wall that cannot be broken. You are the shield that won’t let your loved ones fall. And if the whole world becomes your enemy — you’ll break the world to keep yours alive.

You’re strong. Damn strong! Thanks to growing up with younger brothers and sisters, you learned some truly important skills. Carrying unconscious bodies no longer slows you down or makes your Dexterity (AC) checks and attacks harder. Even allies riding on your back—if their size is one category smaller than yours—don’t hinder your mighty strength. When one of you is attacked, you must try to defend with disadvantage on the attack roll, and only if the attack misses you does your sibling make the saving throw, but with advantage.
