Homebrew Dwarf Goliath Species Details
Towering over most folk, goliaths are distant descendants of giants. While you may naturally stand shorter than the average Goliath due to your Dwarven ancestry, each goliath bears the favors of the first giants—favors that manifest in various supernatural boons, including the ability to quickly grow and temporarily approach the height of goliaths’ gigantic kin.
Dwarf Goliaths have physical characteristics that are reminiscent of the giants in their family lines, but due to the influence of Dwarven ancestry, are always one of two varieties: Stone Goliaths or Hill Goliaths. Dwarf Goliaths, whether Hill or Stone, begin to develop a deeper understanding of stone lending from the mixture of their Giant elemental kinship and Dwarven heritage of the forge, granting them access to the element of stone in unique ways.
