ALIGNMENT CHECK!

HALF-GIANTS
a race – with subraces – for D&D 5E

[My first post on half-giants set up the “base race” for Half-Giants, and included the Cloud Half-Giant and Fire Half-Giant subraces. Last week’s post added Frost and Hill Half-Giants. Today, you get my final two subraces: Stone Half-Giants and Storm Half-Giants! Woo!]

Size. Stone half-giants range from about 7’ to 10’ tall. Your size is Medium. Your weight is 1.5 times that of a normal, flesh-and-blood creature with your height.

Natural Weapon. Your rock-like hands add 1d4 to damage with unarmed strikes.
Immovable Object. You have advantage on checks against shoving attacks. You have disadvantage on all Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.

Stone Magic. You know either the Shillelagh or True Strike cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, choose one of the following spells: Alarm, Jump, or Shield. You can cast that spell once using this trait, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, choose one of the following spells: Aid, Alter Self (with only the Natural Weapons option available), or Warding Bond. You can cast that spell once using this trait, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Wisdom is the spellcasting ability for these spells.
