Homebrew Giant Species Details
The smallest adults among this ancestry are about 6½ feet, with the largest coming in around 8½ feet. In combination with their size, giants are most easily recognized by their long arms that grant them added reach. They tend toward dense musculature, no matter body type. While the majority among this ancestry have two eyes, it’s not uncommon for giants to have one or three eyes. This trait is passed from one or both parents and those with a single eye are often referred to as "cyclops." The average giant lifespan is approximately 75 years.
