Though not all Goliaths have access to this ability, it's still a little hard for me to wrap my head around.Some of the Goliath's other abilities are also head scratchers. Cloud's Jaunt would change the way architecture is designed. Storm's Thunder would seriously change the way children rough-house play.Overall, I don't feel like I'm getting though support from the PHB to properly integrate Goliaths into my world. Likewise, I'm not seeing a lot of support from players that helps them avoid the "humans in cosplay" trope.After all, these are no longer different races (of the same offshoot), but now different species, which implies a much more disparate developmental process. Those differing phenotypes would cascade outwards into even more radically different cultural memes. Rhinos do not behave like house cats, after all.</blockquote>
