Thank you! I needed feedback of that sort. The ribbon abilities are ribbons. I'm aware. they are just there, for the most part, to appropriately flavour the race. I like your idea for giant's endurance. I also like your idea for giant's strength. The speed is to allow a medium half-giant to, with a move, be able to reach the same square as a large half-giant. The large half-giant only has a move speed of 30 feet, but because it fills up a 10-by-10 foot space, it ends up reaching up to 35 squares away (if counting from the farthest rather than the closest square it occupies). I agree that a player will probably not be able to remember all aspects of the personality... I figured, "who cares." By giving them all of the traits, bonds, flaws, and ideals, the player could try and emulate any given aspect when an approriate situation inspired the player. Since those rules are only used to inspire role-playing and occasionally grant inspiriation by DM feat, I figured it doesn't matter much one way or the other, no?
