Half-Giant Paragon (3.5e Racial Paragon Class)

Half-Giant Paragon

A Half-Giant looking on, wistfully. Their stature makes them excel in combat, but they often have a hard time fitting in, for more reasons than one.

The Half-Giants of Tirr are a powerful set of psionic humanoids who find themselves in a strange world that tends to dislike them for what is viewed as either deformity or abomination. While not all Half-Giants are subject to such racial prejudices (many get along in society very well, in some progressive locations or after having convinced the populace of their worth), most do have to bear the stigma of being a half-breed between a human and a giant.

Not all Half-Giants wish to reclaim their heritage, considering the stigma carried by their parent races among each other. Those that do, however, often seek to grasp their natural talents to the fullest, and rather than simply have the latent powers of their kind, they choose to actively hone them. Such individuals are a force to be reckoned with, as they represent the truest of Half-Giants; Those who are not repelled by the nature of their kind, but instead, embrace it and use their natural talents to great effect.
