Half-Giants

By Joe Ludwig

Half-Giants are humanoid creatures that stand slightly taller than an ogre. They are exceedingly strong and look, move, and think more like large humans than either ogres or giants.

I acquired two Dark-Sun Half-Giants by Ral Partha at a miniature fire sale for $1 US, and this is my attempt to make WQ stats for them. Just using the ogre stats made them seem weak.
