The Trollsons are a species descended from a group of ancient Frost Giants, who were gifted magicians, and humans (“giant” and “troll” were synonyms among the human group from which these folk descend). They are larger than normal humans and have some inherent magical gifts. They appear as large humans, around 7 feet tall with a bit of an icy sheen to them.
They have normal daylight vision, like humans. Their giant heritage gives them immunity to cold damage and the ability to see through any illusion (but not to see the invisible). Because of their large size, they can use Large Melee weapons (apart from pikes, bills and halberds) in 1 hand and use a shield. Because of their large size, any suit of armor that can fit a Trollson costs twice the list price and they are unable to ride horses. Non-classed Trollsons have 2-HD. Trollsons are evenly divided among all 3 alignments.
Trollsons in the Region
Trollsons originate far to the North, beyond the Kingdom of Kotharia. They are very rare and very noticeable in the Border Zones and the city and a Trollson adventurer is very likely to be noticed wherever he goes.
