Origin Stories

How you came to live among colossal creatures is up to you to determine, but the Foundling Origin table suggests a variety of possibilities.

Foundling Origin

1
You were found as a baby by a family of nomadic giants who raised you as one of their own.
2
A family of stone giants rescued you when you fell into a mountain chasm, and you have lived with them underground ever since.
3
You were lost or abandoned as a child in a jungle that teemed with ravenous dinosaurs. There, you found an equally lost frost giant; together, you survived.
4
Your farm was crushed and your family killed in a battle between warring groups of giants. Racked with guilt over the destruction, a sympathetic giant soldier promised to care for you.
5
After you had a series of strange dreams as a child, your superstitious parents sent you to study with a powerful but aloof storm giant oracle.
6
While playing hide-and-seek with your friends, you stumbled into the castle of a cloud giant, who immediately adopted you.

Building a Giant Foundling Character

Your life among giants has given you a unique perspective. Though you are unusually large for your kind, you're no larger than a giant child, so you might be very mindful of your size.

Feature: Strike of the Giants

You gain the Strike Of The Giants feat.

Suggested Characteristics

The Giant Foundling Personality Traits table suggests a variety of traits you might adopt for your character.
1
What I lack in stature compared to giants, 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 an 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.
