Homebrew Fomorian Species Details

The Fomorians are a reclusive and fearsome race of giant-kin, known equally for their natural grasp of magic and their overwhelming physical might. Twisting the raw forces of arcane power with an instinct few mortals can match, a Fomorian can tear reality as easily as they tear through stone walls. Though brutish in frame — towering, broad, and scarred by ancient rites — they possess a cunning intellect and a deep understanding of magic’s many forms. Proud and cruel by nature, Fomorians see strength, both physical and magical, as the highest measure of worth, and those who encounter them rarely forget the terrifying blend of brutal force and sorcerery they command.
