Half Giant, Variant

Half giants are conceived in rare romances between giants and smaller humanoids. Such occurrences have lasted since the 6 giant bloodlines first walked the earth, but are usually frowned upon by giantkind. This is especially true among cloud giants, who see themselves as above smaller races (literally). Half giants are a rare race, and sparsely meet others of their lineage.
