Help finding a feat

[Beholder Bob]

In conversation I've heard mention of a feat called, sorry for the spelling, "juhtunblud". It made you part giant or something similar. Perhaps it made you almost 1 size bigger, I'm not sure. Does anyone know what the feat is and where its from, or perhaps a similar feat? I have a norseman character that has boasted of his giant heritage since 1st level and this sounds like just the right feat for him!

Jothunblood. It gives you bonuses similar to the Powerful build ability of half-giants ... but not as strong IIRC. It's from Races of Faerun or the Players Guide to Faerun.

Awsome! Thank you very much!

Just to push my luck, does it affect the weapon sizes you can use or your unarmed hth damage? Also, does it make you giant type?

Nope. The Jotunbrud feat from PGtF just lets you act 'large' in situations where being large is beneficial:

When grappling and to see if you can be swallowed whole by a monster with the swallow ability. For everything else you're considered your normal size categorie (especially in regards to wielding weapons.)

If you want to wield weapons one size categorie larger, you'll need to play a race with the powerful build ability (like the half-giant from XPH).

Check out the thread about the new Underground Races book, they talk a bit about the new race in there, it has an ability similar to what you're looking for.
