Homebrew Frost Goliath Species Details

The first goliaths lived on the highest mountain peaks—far above the tree line, where the air is thin and frigid winds howl. Distantly related to giants and infused with the supernatural essence of their ancestors’ mountainous home, goliaths stand between 7 and 8 feet tall and have a wide array of skin tones resembling different types of stone.

Frost goliaths can follow their ancestry back to the fearsome frost giants. Keep many of the aspects of their giant forbearers culture, frost goliaths live in a reavers society. They survive on the plunder gained from raiding and pillaging the lands neighboring their territory and as such have a reputation for being terrifying brutes.
