Giants
Giagantic and fearsome warrior native to Germania and the Frozen Lands, giants have been pushed back from their traditional normadic homelands towards the Christianized lands, and many of their number have been converted to Christianity. Despite this, urbanization has not come naturally or easy for the nomadic giants, and they frequently live solitary lives. After all - few buildings in the cities of the world are built for ten foot tall giants, and almost none in the smaller communities.

Giants stand around ten and a half feet tall, and usually wear their blonde hair long. They universally have fair skin and usually have blue eyes - denoting their nordic heritage.

Giants can be either fighters or clerics, however both suffer a 15% penalty on XP for levelling up - thus they advance more slowly than other characters. Giants have double the standard HP for characters of their class (before Con bonuses are added). Though they can use two-handed weapons in one hand, they can not use human weapons effectively as the balance, grip and leverage is all wrong. Basic giant weapons can be bought in some human cities (+10% to price). Similarly, giants can not wear human armour or use human shields, and must buy giant sized equipment (+20% to price) where available.

Giants are immensely powerful (+4 STR) but lack the accurate coordination of smaller races (-2 DEX). As well, a giant's individualistic nature tends to make them poor leaders (-2 CHA).
