Giant Foundling
Though you aren’t a Giant, you grew up among giants. Maybe you were an orphan taken in by a sympathetic family of stone giants who raised you as one of their own. Or perhaps you lived in a lost prehistoric pocket of the world, surrounded by giants and fearsome behemoths or hulking dinosaurs.
Something about your environment—perhaps the food or water that sustained you, elemental magic inherent in the site of your home, or some verdant blessing of growth placed on you—caused you to grow to a remarkable size for your kind. With the aid of this magic, you have learned how to embody the might of giants. You are used to moving through a world much bigger than you, and that is reflected in your skills, attitude, and perspective on life.
Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Survival
Languages: Giant and one other language of your choice
Equipment: A Backpack, a set of Traveler's Clothes, a small stone or sprig that reminds you of home, and a Pouch containing 10 gp.
If this background is taken by your player(s) it is suggested that the GM allows other players to choose a Feat with their background.
Suggested Characteristics. The Giant Foundling Personality Traits table suggests a variety of traits you might adopt for your character.

Giant Foundling Personality Traits
| d6 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | What I lack in stature, I make up for with sheer spite. |
| 2 | I insist on being taken seriously as a full-grown adult. Nobody talks down to me! |
| 3 | Crowded spaces make me uncomfortable. I’d much rather be in a wide-open field than a bustling tavern. |
| 4 | I embrace my shorter stature. It helps me stay unnoticed—and underestimated. |
| 5 | Every avalanche begins as a single pebble. |
| 6 | The world always feels too big, and I’m afraid I’ll never find my place in it. |
