Physical Description
Golians highly resemble humans of exaggerated proportions and size. From the improbably tall to the enormously wide, Golians appear to have strong body-morphic bias, enough to separate Golians into multiple castes. Longstriders and Broadstriders use their tall and athletic forms to maximize agility while making use of their great size and weight. Broadbacks and Roundbacks have enormous thick frames and heavy limbs to become walking tanks.
Culture & Social
Golian culture can be described as ‘highly impressionable’, they often adopt the useful customs and traditions of other races and make it their own, they adapt well with others whether it is for their benefit or their own. Golians employ the use of costumes and mask-wearing as a way to express themselves in a way they want others to see them and exchanging gifts that correspond to a Golian’s sense of self helps form even stronger bonds between them.

Racial Adjustments & Archetypes
Golian
Golians have a wide variety of sizes and shapes, but what can be considered true in all their forms is that their boundless imagination and enthusiasm drives them to seek ambitions and careers with intensity. They're highly impressionable.
♦ Golians gain a +1 attribute bonus to Strength and Endurance, they also gain +2 attribute points they can distribute to any stat they desired. (This stacks with the 1 attribute point granted at creation). ♦ Golians also gain a bonus Skill-Focus to any skill group they desire. (This stacks with the 1 Skill-Focus granted at creation). ♦ Golians are considered Huge-sized: they have a size-rating of 4.
Archetype: Big-Friendly
Golians are seen as the most friendly and relatable of the giants in Saffron, however many are genuine in their actions, others can also use this to their advantage.
♦ This Golian gains a +2 attribute bonus to Charisma. ♦ They also gain a Skill-Focus in all Social skills. ♦ NPCs that favour Humans and Humanoids will gain +0.5x positive reputation and +0.5x negative reputation.
Archetype: Serious
Some Golians have a more pragmatic and mature approach to living, usually as they get older they start to act like a human rather than a child. However serious they become, they still enjoy playing with their toys.
♦ This Golian gains a +2 attribute bonus to Intelligence. ♦ They also gain a Skill-Focus in all Social and Defence skills.
Traits
Passive: Golian-Type
