Giants appear like extremely overgrown humans, yet as their great strength is evident to the naked eye, so is their lack of wit and wisdom. They are Incredibly strong and hardy, more so than most any other race; yet are also probably the dumbest. They are usually shunned by other races, but many people prefer to follow a giant into combat. While excelling in combat, Giants almost never develop a very good capacity to use magic.

Comments

Giants get an enormous amount of HP, more than any other race, remort or creatable. This makes them absurdly big regardless of class. However, their dexterity (and thus dodging) is poor and they lack natural armor, so in combat they tend to lose the HP at a faster pace. Due to this flaw they make exceptional berserkers (berserkers are highly resistant to damage).

Giants also have a racial damage modifier and considerable strength, so they make excellent warriors and other brute classes.

Their powerswing ability makes them very proficient with two-handed weapons, allowing them to deal more damage than races without it - thus paladins are also a possible career (paladins use two-handed swords).

Giant stealth is bad, archery as well, and casting ability is laughable.
