Half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giants]] typically stand from 7 feet to nearly 8 feet tall and weigh from 250 to 400 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women.

Half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giants]] speak Common. Many also learn [[SRD:Giant Type|Giant]].

===COMBAT===

Because of their [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] ancestry, half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giants]] are able to use weapons sized for creatures larger than normal humans. They gain considerable satisfaction in using these large weapons in combat against their foes.

'''[[SRD:Psi-Like Ability|Psi-Like Abilities]]:''' 1/day: ''stomp'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 10)''.'' [[SRD:Manifester Level|Manifester level]] equal to 1/2 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] (minimum 1st). The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Fire Acclimated ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giants]] have a +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]] against all fire [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] and effects. 

'''Powerful Build ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' The physical stature of half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giants]] lets them function in many ways as if they were one [[SRD:Size Category|size category]] larger. Whenever a half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]]s, [[SRD:Bull Rush|bull rush]] attempts, and [[SRD:Trip|trip]] attempts), the half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as [[SRD:Improved Grab|improved grab]] or [[SRD:Swallow Whole|swallow whole]]) can affect him. A half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of [[SRD:Powers|powers]], abilities, and [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] that change the subject’s [[SRD:Size Category|size category]].

The half-[[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] [[SRD:Warrior|warrior]] presented here had the following ability scores before racial adjustments: [[SRD:Strength|Str]] 13, [[SRD:Dexterity|Dex]] 11, [[SRD:Constitution|Con]] 12, [[SRD:Intelligence|Int]] 10, [[SRD:Wisdom|Wis]] 9, [[SRD:Charisma|Cha]] 8.
