Homebrew Frost Half-Giant Species Details

Sometimes with bluish-tinted flesh and grey or white hair, these half-giants have had their hearts melted of the cold exterior their frost giant parents had. In fact they are some of the more caring of their kind. The traits they did inherit however do allow them to brave the deep winter chill and gifted them with their forebears skills of sailing and the axe.

Giantlings or Half-giants are born from an unconventional coupling of a giant parent and most commonly a human parent. Half Giants are recognizable for their tall musculature and powerful abilities. Strangely, they are closer to their non-giant heritage but they still managed to hold some power and hulk above most races. Most half-giants resemble bigger, stronger and slightly hued (depending on the heritage of the giant parent) humans. Despite their size and parents they do not often find themselves at home with other giants. They usually reside within the smaller race communities or with the single giant parent. because of their size and abilities they are sought after for various jobs in protection or in large manual labor.
