Potestas: a D&D3E supplement
Races
Taboti (part-arcane humanoids)
The taboti are lesser giants who large humans of about 9 to 10 feet in height
with two sets of arms, one above the other. They live in the lesser heights
of the Mountains Under Heaven, and generally have darker skin and hair like
the humans of Batubatan. Taboti tend in temperment towards the violent and excessive
emotions and sense of honour associated with the giants. They are the dominant
race in Tabot, are widespread throughout Masulpatam and the kingdoms of Batubatan,
but are rare and distrusted in Khitai.
Like all lesser giants, taboti can breathe both air and ether freely, and live
for one and a half to two centuries. They can interbreed with humans and giants,
and the offspring of such unions are fertile.
