"Their hollow carcasses make wonderful homes for my children."
(Raven *Tales of Darkness*)

These massively large creatures stand anywhere from fifteen to twenty feet tall, and have enough strength to move a horse buggy with one hand.  These creatures look almost identical to humans except for the fact that they are much larger, and a couple other points.  Giants are known to live in the highest mountains, in large tribes.  The average home of a giant is carved out of a peak of a mountain.  This is where the giants family lives.  A giant spends most of his time moving large rocks around in order to organize their ritual areas.  The one thing that is well known about giants, is their immense appetite and extreme inability to grow food.  As a result, they choose to feed off of the other races, literally.

Giants have no real need for the intellectual side of life.   Giants are unnatural beings, so they have no natural magical skills. Due to their extreme distaste for other races, giants tend to be shunned by the good aligned deities.

*Note*
Giants make a poor choice for beginning players, since the advantages lie in the strength and endurance.  The giant race is extremely geared towards that fact, and their low attributes in the other stats makes them difficult to play long term.

Giant base stats:
Alignment: Neutral or Evil
Hit:[55] Mana:[29] Move:[100]
STR:[18/0] INT:[4] WIS:[4] DEX:[11] CON:[18] CHA:[6]

Giants are large creatures with enormous strength and constitution.   However they lack the intelligence and wisdom to make very effective long term characters.

Giants have the following innate abilities: sanctuary and the skill bash.
