Goliath

A Goliath is a sub race of humans that is born with a recessive trait. This trait lies dormant in most humans and it is unknown if it will ever surface in a particular family line. When a Goliath is born in usually ends in the tragic death of the mother. Because of this goliaths are often resented or even shunned by their families. aside from this birth abnormality, goliaths are known to breed with one another. This union however is not guaranteed to produce another goliath.   Ability Scores: Choose one of:
