They are more or less on par with half-orcs.The half orc ability is usually more reliable, but especially at low levels the goliath ability does not set you up for instant death.It may also prevent the damage completely. which could be fine for a mage.I rate goliath about as good as a variant human taking heavy armor mastery at level 1. Athletics is a little more useful as the half orc's intimidate. Mountain dwarves don't bring too much to the table compared to goliath, especially when using standard arrays, because both start with +3 both in constitution and strength if they want.I am not remembering if goliath are proficient in two handed weapons but i think it was in 4e.So while the mechanics are just fine, if goliaths would be cimmerians they would be picked a lot more.</blockquote>
