Homebrew Giant Species Details

Giants are reclusive and lonely, and are known to take long sleep periods after which they arise with a new purpose in life and name. Giants are a race of hermits, arbiters, explorers, and oracles (some are prone to have prophetic visions of the future). Their long life spans give them a particular perception of time, and wisdom that other races respect.

Some Lorwyn giants huddle in mountain caves; you can spot a giant's lair by the enormous, rugged dolmen stones built up around the entrance. Others range over Lorwyn with long, loping steps. You can tell a giant's travel route by the man-sized, earth-compressed footprints and lack of vegetation.

Giant Traits

Sturdy and as ageless as stone, Giants have unique traits.

Age

Giants live up to 300 and 400 years old, but some giants much older exist.

Alignment

Giants are usually Chaotic but can be Evil, Neutral, and Good based on their own goals and personality.

Size

Giants on Lorwyn stand 12 feet and taller. Each giant is unique and could be as tall as the highest trees. Giants can weigh 750 pounds and greater.

Stone's Endurance

You can focus yourself to occasionally shrug off injury. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12. Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled, and reduce the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Giant Strength

+3 Strength Modifier

Giant Attention

Creatures are aware of your presence when they are within 75 feet of you unless you succeed on a 15+ stealth check, then you can move stealthily up to your walking speed.
