Your preferred name for playable part human part giants (non D&D)

Trying to come up with something that is not the typical name.

Its not mom is a giant, its more of a warrior people that have old giantish blood in their heritage.

nothing from dungeons and dragons since its copyright and I don't want to confuse the two !

Based on this, I would go with Giantkin. It's simple and descriptive. In a similar vein (heh), you could go with giant-blooded, but that feels more cumbersome.

For names that others call them, either half-giants or giantkin works. I'd imagine the former would be the more pejorative of the two.

If you wanted to lean into Norse imagery you could go with jotun.

Jotun, that is pretty cool ! I like that and will pick it for now !

Barry, I think Barry is a good name for a dwarf-giant

Nephilim!

Good suggestion! I personally use that as a name for all the varieties of Planetouched in a homebrew.

@cavetroll
Are you looking for a name they call themselves? Or what others call them? Both?

I was coming here to say this. I have a Custom Lineage Rune Knight character whom describes herself as "Jotun-blood", that she is a descendant of giants.

The problem with Nephilim is that there seems to be a lot of Homebrew DnD use of it as a celestial.

Its a playable race, so the list in the contents, though I don't call them races. Not what they call themselves, perhaps they have there own language I haven't thought that far ahead.

Giantkin is pretty good but after looking up Jotun it seems to be perfect.
