Homebrew Cyclopskin Species Details

          The Cyclopskin are almost like a mixture goliath and cyclops, both culturally and physically. Typical cyclopskin stands 7.5 ft (2.3 m) and weights 350 lb (158.8 kg). Many males and females go bald over the decades, but for females it takes longer to go bald. Cyclopeskin have the same skin tones that cyclops. The most peculiar and distinguishing thing about cyclopskin was the fact that they only had one large eye in the middle of their foreheads. It tended to be often a bright blue or green and sometimes glowed a little. Their single eye gave them poor depth perception, and therefore they couldn't use missile weapons very well. Cyclopskin while not being anywhere near as good as dwarves, they still craft good quality stone weapons. The punishments for crimes are similar to the goliaths, with one addition: if a crime is magic-based the perpetrator will have their hands be bound behind their back for 3 weeks. Also like goliaths, the cyclopskin are very tradition-based, and find it very difficult to innovate. Just like their larger, dumber cousins, the cyclopskin are very weary of magic and pay little mind to any god. But cyclopskin often fight and kill their cousins, the cyclops.
