Half-Giant, Stone
Note: This race may only be selected by spending a Major Award!
Contents
Description
|
Descendants of the stone giants are the longest living of the half-giants, generally considered wisest among their peers and their hearts beat four times slower than a human's. They are often patient and stoic, never rushing to action based on a whim. These half-giants have a gray to grayish-brown skin tone, hair that ranges in a spectrum of dark grays and bluish-grays, and eyes of a silver or steel hue.
Warning
This Half-Giant is a member of the Half-Giant race on Arelith and although they fall under the Giant racial categorization in game, they MUST not be roleplayed as a Giant.
Irongron - Sun 24 Jul, 2022: And a reminder - don't RP as a full giant. I was cautious about adding these races not for power, but frequency and RP, I don't want to be required gate or remove the reward so soon.
