==Half-Giant==

[[Summary:: When the half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] revolted against their slavers not all that survived were gifted with mental prowess. As such some half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] offspring don't inherit their ancestors psychic gifts.]]

=== Personality ===

Half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]], for the most part, retain [[SRD:Humans (Race) | human]] sensibilities. They are curious, interested in cooperation and communication, and have a general tendency towards kindness. (Of course there are exceptions.) They are quick to pick up the morals, customs, and habits of the areas in which they settle. 

=== Physical Description ===

Half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] possess the blood of [[SRD:Humans (Race) |humans]] and [[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]]. Though closer to [[SRD:Humans (Race) |human]] than giants in size, their stature can't be ignored. Half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] typically stand 7 feet to nearly 8 feet tall and weigh from 250 to 400 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Most half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] hair and eyes tend to favor the colors of their [[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] parents, though in duller hues. 

=== Relations ===

Most other [[SRD:Humanoid Type | humanoid]] are put off by half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] due to their abnormally large size. In fact, many are first taken for young (if strangely well-groomed) [[SRD:Hill_Giant | hill giants]]. Upon getting past their initial trepidation, however, most other [[SRD:Humanoid Type | humanoids]] find half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] of [[SRD:Alignment#Good_Vs._Evil | good alignment]] to be outgoing, kind creatures.

=== Alignment ===

Most half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] are [[SRD:Alignment#Good_Vs._Evil | good-aligned]], but all [[SRD:Alignment | alignments]] can be found in their ranks.

=== Lands ===

Half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] recently settled in deepest part of the hot deserts to the south. Of the land they came from, half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] speak little, other than to say that where they live is similar to where they once toiled. 

=== Religion ===

Half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]], as a rule, have a particular disdain for religion, sometimes going out of their way to speak badly of a deity. It's not that they don't believe in deities, but that they don't believe a deity always has the best interests of it's worshipers at heart. Individual half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] have enough courtesy and sensibility to keep their observations to themselves when in the company of a good companion with pious inclinations. A few half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] even take up the cloth themselves.

=== Language ===

Under scoring their [[SRD:Humans (Race) | human]] ancestry, half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] speak Common. Many also learn [[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]].

=== Names ===

Half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] have a childhood name and a given name, the latter usually bestowed by friends or by the community in which the half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] originally grew up. Most half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] names reflect some aspect of the desert land that the half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] inhabit, though a few strange place names are also thrown in (apparently remembered from their former homes of long ago).

'''Male Given Names:''' Sandking, Dunewalker, Sunharrower, Drywell, Stormrider, Desertstrider, Saltwalker, Raam.

'''Female Given Names:''' Oasis, Sandrose, Breath, Goldflower, Sweetwater, Raincaller, Nibenay.

|type=''[[SRD:Giant_Type|Giant]]:''  Half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giants]] are not subject to spells or effects that affect [[humanoid]] only, such as ''[[SRD:Charm_Person | charm person]]'' or ''[[SRD:Dominate_Person | dominate person]]''.

|specialtext1= The physical stature of half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] lets them function in many ways as if they were one [[SRD:Size_Category| size category]] larger. Whenever a half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during a [[SRD:Grapple |grapple]], [[SRD:Bull_Rush | bull rush]] attempt, and [[SRD:Trip | trip]] attempts), the half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as [[SRD:Improved_Grab | improved grab]] or [[SRD:Swallow_Whole | swallow whole]]) can affect him. A half-[[SRD:Giant_Type|giant]] can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of [[SRD:Powers | powers]], abilities, and [[SRD:Creature_Spells_and_Powers#Spells | spells]] that change the subject’s [[SRD:Size_Category| size category]].
