THis also stays in the realm of the bonuses gained by other races such as the Dwarf.)* Humanoid/Shapechanger Type/Subtype(Less advantage than Giant type. Thus, trade out Giant type for Scent switching immunity vs humanoid affecting spells and affects / for resistance (not even immunity) vs illusions)* Medium Size(same as half-giant - no advantages or disadvantages)* Low-Light(Less powerful than he half-giant's Darkvision)* +2 to certian skills(Less advantagious than a half-giant's +2 save vs fire [the most common energy type])* Powerful Build(Same as a half-giant; I was considering making it uses per day rather than permanent. This would make it sub-optimal when compared to the half-giant.)* Natural Weapons(I'd think equal to the combined half-giant's Naturally Psionic & Psionic-like Ability)Thoughts?</blockquote>
