Half Giant Cons

Most of the locals are a bit uneasy around them especially those who are old enough the remember the war when they formed the backbone of the Giantish Army’s but they are not hated any more since all the ones locally are descended form the ones who mutinied against their masters during the war.

They are whilst still technically medium sized still around Seven feet tall and heavily built with it so can have problems with the narrow and  low doors and low ceilings on many human buildings.

They are universally regarded as stupid and unsuitable for fine work so tend to get lumbered with simple manual labour amongst humans and dwarves.

They are frequently the subject of mildly derogatory humour. 

All their gear and clothes has to be specially made for them outside of their own communities, and especially with the tools it adds to the reputation they have of being clumsy as well as stupid.

They suffer a -10 penalty if they are using tools not made for them and -1 penalty all round if using weapons not made for them.

They get a defence penalty of -2 due to size and bulk

All literacy skills cost double at first level as they are seen as too stupid to learn to write.

Oddly enough whilst the majority of the Half Giants where in effect barbarians originally and those who remained loyal to the Giants still are they made a cultural decision since the revolt to reject their former ways and now copy much from the settled humans.  It would not be impossible to  have a half giant rogue, assassin or even mage there is as yet no one who will take seriously any who expressed an interest in that direction as they are seen as stupid foolish and clumsy  and don’t have those professions within their own ranks.
