Homebrew Crimson Goliath Species Details
In the harshest winters a Goliath will incredibly rarely be born with an affinity for fire. With only a few recorded cases of Crimson Goliaths existing they are very mysterious but what is know is that they are always the greatest warriors of their era. Being even greater in size at around 260cm tall Crimson Goliaths tower over everything except the giants. Their physical strength is second to none, their flame infused bodies capable of ridiculous bursts of strength. They are resistant to cold, as all Goliaths are, but also to heat.
