[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6845180"] I didn't call it an advantage. I said it's typical of ALL the common races in D&D. So saying "they didn't give this race an interesting name" when typically Wizards does not give their races interesting names is a false complaint. At least when held against [I]just[/I] Goliaths, if you hold it against [I]all[/I] races then you have more of a problem with the default design of D&D than with just Goliaths. You don't know what any races in D&D sound like, as the game does not include sound bytes when selecting your race like an MMO does. All you have is various forms of media (movies, books on tape, radio, etc...) providing [I]their[/I] interpretation which you are using to inform yourself. As you've never actually heard a dwarf (in the fantasy sense), an elf, or a goliath you don't know what they [I]actually[/I] sound like. So again, this is a bit of a false complaint. It's like saying you don't know what a Goliath tastes like. What does that have to do with anything at all? [/QUOTE]
