New race type: Half-giant

Post by Quidix » Sun Jun 11, 2023 8:31 pm

I'd suggest that Half-giant gets their own racial category: Half Giant

The reason is that [1] they're not full giants and should not be RP'd to have full size, and [2] there's a large number of bonuses specifically targeted at Giants, most notably all dwarves and gnomes get +4 AC (which is a huge advantage compared to other minor racial bonuses).

This is in the context of half-giant already getting -1 AB/AC, -4 MS / Hide / Spot / Listen from being Large.

They already have their own individual race entries, which have been assigned the Giant race as parent. Perhaps certain racial bonuses vs. Giants should be reviewed now that they are a playable race, but it seems a bit much to add a separate parent race for them.

Moving this to approved as a reminder to look into racial bonuses vs. Giants.
