Welcome
Goliath in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Goliath
At the highest mountain peaks dwell the reclusive goliaths, wandering a bleak realm of rock, wind, and cold. Their bodies look as if they are carved from mountain stone and give them great physical power. Their hearts are infused with the cold regard of their frigid realm, leaving each goliath with the responsibility to earn a place in the tribe or die trying.

You can supernaturally draw on unyielding stone to shrug off harm. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12.
