I had a half-giant ranger once, with AI strength, and exceptional in everything else, except I think, maybe a VG or an EG in wisdom.
He could kill anything, riding around, dual-wielding. He was an utter beast. But I almost entirely stayed to myself with him, and the more I played him, the more I hated half-giants. Everyone reacts the same to every half-giant they meet. I tried to play him as more grim and laconic rather than as the happy retard, but it made no difference. After a while, I just couldn't do it anymore. It was just an endless horizon of dead meks and following my betters around. Not to mention, playing a half-giant that isn't comic relief stupid is a ripe field for all sorts of accusations. Excuse me, but I've known big, stupid, semi-retarded people IRL. They were FAR more scary than funny.
But he was a grotesquely powerful character, and could've amounted to much more than I explored with him before getting jaded. Those that played an HG ranger, will know that there is a huge hump to get over at the start, which is very different from playing a warrior (no shield, no parry to fall back on). But if you stick with it long enough to branch parry (on a ranger), it gets to be quite incredible. How many times is anyone going to get AI strength on an HG ranger and branch parry?
The best role I was ever offered, but turned down, was as a Mul Byn slave. I regret that, because the opportunity did not repeat, when Byn came under different management.
