Half-Giants

Half-giants are descendants of the primordial titans who proudly bear marks of that lineage. Beyond their great size, each half-giant shares traits with one of the seven titans. Modern half-giants wander the world on a never-ending quest to spread their bloodlines, and integrate amicably with most other societies.

Reputation

Half-giants are very tall and well-muscled. They typically look like a human with unusual skin tones and some features of the titan of which they are kin.

Half-giants are widely known for their physical abilities, and try to integrate into the societies of smaller creatures, to varying degrees of success. They are sometimes considered foolish due to a tendency to solve problems with physical force but they are as smart as humans on average; simply prone to falling back on their physical advantages.

Half-Giant Culture

The main thing a half-giant wants in life is acceptance from giants, humans, or both. Some Half-Giants attempt to gain acceptance by accomplishing heroic deeds. Half-giants who are raised among the giant culture will attempt to gain acceptance by honing their combat skills to perfection. Adventuring typically allows them to hone their combat skills and accomplish heroic deeds at the same time, so most Half-Giants who get the chance to will gladly join an adventuring party.
