NEW! Half-Giant Race

[Star Gazer]

You guys are forgetting some of the advantages inherent in the Large designation:
A. Reach (!)
B. Unarmed damage goes up one die: d3 -> d4.

I'm currently playtesting the Athasian (Dark Sun) .5Giant for the DS3e Project:

Str: +10
Dex: +0
Con: +6
Int: -4
Wis: -4
Cha: -4

Giant humanoid (Large, Tall)

Believe it or not, this guy really does only rate the ECL +1 that he has. Do you have any idea what a hinderance 1 skill point / level is? How about the absolutely abysmal Will saves? Eek, I dread each and every encounter with a Mindbender.

Just a 'for comparison purposes' post....

Dropping Str by +2, increasing the Dex penalty and putting a -2 on 2 mental stats would probably drop it to +1. I would advise against doing this, though. I suggest you add a little something (maybe a bonus feat and a +2 to Con) to make it a worthwhile +2 race.

Edit: since they live amongst humans they probably fight more medium sized creatures than buggers their own size, hence the feat.
