Homebrew Storm Half-Giant Species Details

Stone Half-giants have grey to white or even slightly purplish hued skin and purple to grey eyes. Their hair can also be grey, white, light blue and or lavender colored. Like their giant parents Storm half-giants inherited some of their divine abilities and those of the storm. Most find themselves at home helping those along their path or leading other to battle, peace or even in prayer. Whatever the cause a Storm half-giant will find the way forward.

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.
