Half-giants are a race that has been used as slaves for as long as they have been known. Bred to be gladiators and soldiers,
General Description
Half-giants are a race of enormous demihumans who have adapted to a variety of lifestyles in the many harsh terrains of Athas. The origins of the race are unclear. While it is known that the race is spawned from the union of human and giant and the nature of that union was certainly magical, its original purpose is unknown. Left to themselves, the original half-giants have multiplied, especially near the shores of the Silt Sea.
Half-giants are a cross between giants and humans who choose new alignments every morning.
Roleplaying

The notes given on roleplaying each race are also very important, since a character earns additional individual experience point awards when played according to these racial descriptions.
