One of my players wants to play a giant (specifically Kanye the Giant, based off a certain Key & Peele sketch which is a little NSFW so I won't link to it).  I've been trying to figure out how to make this a balanced race, which might be unnecessary considering how silly the campaign is but I like making stuff.  Any tips?  Here's my 1st draft (this is my first time making a homebrew race, and I know a -1 stat might not fit in 5e but I think it might work):

 

Giant

+2 Str, +2 Con, -1 Int (Should the -1 be Int, Dex, or just nonexistant?  This is my biggest problem)

 

Size: Huge

Base Height 17'

Height Mod +2d12

Base Weight 4,500

Weight Mod x1d100

 

Alignment: Usually Chaotic Evil

 

Speed 30 ft

 

Languages: Common, Giant

 

All Big: You add your Con modifier rather than Dex to AC when wearing light/medium armor (max +2 with medium).

 

The World is Your SUV: You are proficient in Nature & Intimidate checks.

 

Giant Weapon Training: You are proficient with unarmed strikes (which deal 1d6 bludgeoning x your level/5, round up) and greatclubs.

 

So, what do you think? ("All Big" and "The World is Your SUV" are called that because of the sketch)
