Editing Giant: The Perfidious (section)

=== Half-Giants ===
Half-Giants are surprisingly common, and most are relativily well-adjusted individuals indistinguishable but for their seemingly effortless feats of strength and the sickingly sweet stench of their blood, though sadly they cannot pass this blood on, as every Half-Giant is sterile. Half-Giants suffer from Doubt in the same way that Giants do, though it takes a long time after they are dead for it to sink into public consciousness. King Arther, Jack the Giantslayer, Tom the Tinkard, even great Corineus who killed the terrible Gogmogog, all were half-giants with their history drifting away, replaced by "Kings and Lords who actually existed". Half-Giants also make the best Giant-Killers; Their almost human physiology doubled with the strength granted by their preternatural connection with Giants gives them a magical edge; Half-Giants recieve +1 to their dice pool when opposing Giants in a contested action, and spending Willpower in such a situation will grant 4 dice instead of the regular 3. Because of their heretige, however, they are hunted in turn by a surprising opponent with terrible regularity: Vampires. Their value to Kindred is two-fold; Half-Giants can make the most efficient Ghoul you can ask for, and the overpoweringly sweet aroma of their blood is too much to resist, so potent they can be picked out of a room filled with drunk partygoers by smell alone. Vampires receive one extra point of Vitae for every one drunk, which does not stack with the Third Coil of Blood, Perspicacious Blood.

Half-Giant is a template that you can add to any mortal character that grants them 9-again on Strength rolls, as well as decreasing the cost of all physical attributes by one experience point, and Half-Giants may purchase the Giant Merit at character creation for two dots instead of the regular 4. Half-Giants may not take any Totems, as they have morality, rather then Worthiness and thus have no need for Totemic stipulations. However, they may take Jotnar Honors if they are accepted into the Council (A regular occurance, roughly 1/3 of all Jotnar are Half-Giants), though they must still draw Ley Energy from Ley Lines they cannot create in order to use these powers. Half-Giants can be Embraced, Awakened, turned into Changelings (With the Wyrd seemingly having a preference towards the Ogre Seeming) or have their bodies turned into Prometheans, though they cannot carry Uratha blood, since that overwrites the legacy of the Two Brothers.
