Stormborn Goliath in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Stormborn Goliath
Raised in the chill waters of the northern seas, Stormborn, with their green-tinged hair and solid green eyes often rise quickly through the clan’s leadership, and most think themselves superior to all other goliaths. Their bravery in combat is nearly unmatched and Stormborn chieftains will fight alongside their brothers and sisters in battle, leading the charge with speed, and a sword of lightning.
