Homebrew Giant Species Details
Towering over most folk, Giants are distant descendants of Elbath. Each Giant bears the favors of the first giants—favors that manifest in various supernatural boons, including the ability to yell loudly and temporarily approach the height of the Giants’ gigantic kin.
Giants have physical characteristics that are reminiscent of the giants in their family lines. For example, some goliaths look like stone giants, while others resemble fire giants. Whatever giants they count as kin, giants have forged their own path in the multiverse—unencumbered by the internecine conflicts that have ravaged giantkind for ages—and seek heights above those reached by their ancestors.

Giant Ancestry
You are descended from Giants. Choose one of the following benefits—a supernatural boon from your ancestry; you can use the chosen benefit a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest:
Battle Cry. As a Bonus Action, you yell at the top of your lungs, forcing the frightened condition on your opponents.
Fatal Wound. When you hit a target with an attack roll and deal damage to it, you can also deal 1d10 bonus damage to that target.
Stomp. As a bonus action, you can deal 1d6 Bludgoning damage to that target and reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn, with the Prone condition.
Giant's Endurance. When you take damage, you can take a Reaction to roll 1d12. Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled and reduce the damage by that total.
Powerful Build
You have Advantage on any ability check you make to end the Grappled condition. You also count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity.
