Hey now

I thought the goliath's were one of the few new races that have come out lately that really, well, "felt" good. Very well flushed out. Awesome culture. A naming convention that makes sense. Just, dang. I really enjoyed the "Races of Stone" book. Sure, a goliath can do a little more damage, but that's what LA+1 is for, right? And I think a goliath adds a TON of RP potential to a party - a huge, wandering nomad, naive to the world, his first night in the big city...with it's brothels, and pubs, and......
Plus, they look cool. Not in all the pictures, but most of them

Now, if you want to start being a munchkin, use a giant-sized mighty composite longbow with the cragtop archer PRC and a few levels of fighter....yuck, just...yuck.
