Giant race

Race giant

Giants -- huge humanoid beings whose distant kin once quarrelled with the gods and lost. Since then they live far off, fight often, and swing clubs with style.

Strong as mammoths, hardy as mountains, slow as avalanches. The thick hide takes neither fire nor frost -- climate is something a giant ignores. Lightning, though, drops one on the spot, and mental magic is ruinous to a slow-thinking mind. In battle they bash, disarm, kick, parry, often go berserk, rescue their kin, and crush anything small. Ranged weapons are rarely needed -- a rock underfoot will do.

They turn up in Haon Dor, in the mountains around Cloudy Mountain, and in the oddest places like Machine Dreams. There are several kinds -- fire giants, frost giants, storm giants, and cloud giants.
