I know the FR book only haf two if I recall correctly( Drow and Gensi). So I don't think there is a standard format.

As said upthread, Muls are in as a new player race. They have their own stats and abilities.

Goliaths are being reskinned as Half Giants. They won't look the same or have the same kind of society, but, in mechanical terms, Half Giants and Goliaths will be the same thing. This was done because, as WotC discovered with the original player friendly version of the Minotaur, Large PCs break the game.

I'm guessing their racial ability to turn their skin to stone is more of a natural psionic talent in Dark Sun, then? You know, just to maintain the half-giant flavor.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that's just a metaphor.

Jun 17, 2010 17:03:04 The stone bit is fluff, and not indicative it really does turn into stone. The character's stats change for the time of the power's duration, but the Goliath probably stays exactly as is, with no apparent outward change.
