Regardless, firbolg can have the gentler, graceful tendencies of fey creatures **_and_** the large, impressive build of half-giants. ### Origin & History Firbolg—unlike djinn and goliath—originated on Yanis. They don't fully fit in with either species category—fey or giants. Over many millennia, firbolg have become more and more reclusive. Today, firbolg are rarely seen in large cities. --- ### Appearance & Biology Often, firbolg tend to be very tall. Their build depends on their half-giant lineage. Their ears resemble that of elves more than most other humanoids—long and tapered. They have bright red noses as a distinguishing feature and typically grow more hair on their bodies than that of the other two half-giant humanoids. Despite being a mixed species, firbolg are only capable of reproducing with other firbolg. --- ### Species Traits #### Core Traits > [!custom-trait-locked]- 1️⃣ Darkvision. > - Darkvision up to 60 feet. > [!custom-trait-locked]- 2️⃣ One With Nature. > - Proficiency in nature or survival. > - Gains a plus 10 bonus to stealth when surrounded by grass, foliage, trees, or plant matter. > [!custom-trait-locked]- 1️⃣ Powerful Build. > - Proficiency in athletics. > - Considered one size larger when determining carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. #### Optional Traits > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 1️⃣ Fey Stride. > - Once per long rest, as a bonus action, you may magically teleport up to 30 feet to space you can see costing no movement. > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 1️⃣ Gentle Giant. > - Proficiency in animal handling and stealth or medicine and stealth. > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 1️⃣ Naturalist Talent. > - Proficiency with two of the following tools: alchemist’s supplies, herbalism kits, healer’s kits, leatherworker’s tools, weaver’s tools, and/or woodcarver’s tools. > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 1️⃣ Speech of Beast and Leaf. > - You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with Beasts, Plants, and vegetation.
