Homebrew Half-Cyclops Species Details
Related to the mighty one-eyed giants known as cyclopes, half-cyclopes are superior in strength to most races, even as their vision is lacking. Cyclopes are thought to have been descended from the gods, and even as their bloodline is muddled among other races to form half-breeds, the power given to their ancestors by birthright still seeps through them. Despite their might, their single eye forces them to charge forth in combat, causing many would-be legends to die earlier in life.
