Homebrew Giff Species Details

Adapted from UA and DNDBeyond Sneak Peak Article 

The giff are broad-shouldered folk with hippo-like features. They tower over most other races and have smooth skin or bristles on their faces and atop their heads. Despite their appearance, the giff aren't awakened hippos. Chances are, the giff haven't even come face to face with such creatures. They have spent millennia traversing Wildspace and the Astral Sea, where more alien creatures reside.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.
