@TheEdVerse In Races of Faerűn (2003), a feat called 'Jotunbrud' is introduced, which makes your character a size larger because of Giant ancestry. Can we surmise from it that Half-Giants are or at least were a thing? If so, why have were they never given a race template?
@TheEdVerse
Yes, half-giants ARE a thing.
Never having been a TSR or Wizards staffer, I don’t know why they were never given a race template.
In previous lore replies about mixed-race “half-people” I’ve mentioned that most such individuals genetically favour one parent, so a lot of, say, human-giant half-giants are just REALLY BIG (big boned, big organs, big strength) humans, like Madeiron Sunderstone in the Realms, so that may be one reason.
@CanyonGlac94388
Can they also inherit other traits from their giant side, like a Fire Giant's red skin? Thank you for your reply, sir!
@TheEdVerse
You're welcome, and yes, they can. Half-anythings are mixing enough genes that they can "breed others of their half-kind." Which means recessive genes may "come out" in their offspring, or grandchildren. |

On drow wizards gaining favor of Mystra and Azuth

@thekolbitar
@TheEdVerse Is there any possibility that a drow wizard rebelling against Lolth could gain favor from Mystra and Azuth?
@TheEdVerse
Oh, yes. Most of the gods of Toril will help mortals work against Lolth, because she's a constant pain to them and endlessly ambitious, so they think she must be curbed and thwarted at every turn. |
