Homebrew Giant kin Species Details

The power of giants manifests itself in varying ways because there are multiple types of giants. While all Giants have a few things in common there are outliers. Nominally your size is greater than most humanoids, the typical height for most giant kin is 7 ft to 8 ft as well as your prodigious level of strength would be uncommon among humans or even some monstrous races.

Their physical traits also set them apart from the norm depending on the particular Giant they seem to have taken after: for example fire Giants have flaming hair, storm Giants tend to have purple or blue skin, and ice giants are cold to the touch.

Typically giant Kin are created in two ways, the most prolific way is interbreeding of a giant and non-giant race. These offspring favor their giant parent and little to no characteristics of the non-giant show present. The other way is occasionally Giants will take in a non Giant for a number of years and make them a family member. That amount of time spent with Giants and then their society infuses the non-giant with enough primordial power that it transforms them into a giant Kin.
