Yes, they can very much breed. Half giants haven't been magically created for centuries.

Half-giants were originally created by the sorcerer-kings with magic. To my knowledge they breed normally.

Good ol Abalache-Re, gotta love her for creating a powerful, stupid, machine of war that can continue to breed with itself and produce more.

/blink.
With itself? asexual half giants?? EEEEWWWWWWWWW

just kidding.

Heheh. And yes, to add another confirmation to the pot, Yes, Half Giants are fertile and reproduce with other half giants. It is Müls who are sterile and are bred by Dwarf/human matings.

The logistics of the alternative idea of breeding, short of assistance from wizardry, is at the very least disturbing.

Nice, Xlor.

And I'll add that, Yes, Half-giants can breed.
:P

It would have to be giant woman and human male. the other way is just wrong (and probably impossible). Its hard enough for a female human to have a mul baby, and a half giant baby would be like twice as big.

Wonder if the giant woman even notices :D

This thread is turning weird fast.

The male half-giant procreates with the female half-giant, and the female half-giant has a pregnancy followed by the birth of a baby half-giant.

Half-giant is a race that was created through magic, they are not a magical race.
The closest parallel to the nature of the half-giant is that of the dray: their nature is the same (magically created) and they both can procreate within their species.

Wonder what you get if a half-giant breeds with a human. a 50% chance of either a half-giant or human baby??

It actually states in the Wanderer's Journal that h-giants can't breed with humans.

Thats if you were being serious :P

Seeing as how everyone agrees on this (as do I), I'm going to take the other side and say that half-giants can't breed without the assistance of a dwelf.

Disturbing images come to mind...

What is the dwelf's role in this?
No, don't answer that.

So under Dwelf Ecology, it should be mentioned that they act as pimps for Half-Giants...

And make themselves helpful in other manners best left unsketched.

Just remember that half-giants tend to immitate whatever's around them. So if there's a nearby community of (short-lived) thespians, the half-giants will tend to emulate that. If there is a nearby tribe of elves that live by raiding, there's a good bet the half-giants will follow suit.

And more than actions, they emulate appearnce too. So, if there's a bunch of Thri-Kreen nearby, the HAlf-Giants could possibly be seen walking around with an amalgam of strung-together pieces of chitin, attempting to look more "kreen". If there's a nearby Dwarven villiage, they chould be shaving themselves bald all the time.

Or if there's a pack of dwelfs (they travel in packs), the half-giants would be instantly transformed into newer, cooler selves. Why? Because dwelfs are, like, totally rad and junk.

Duh.

You mean newer, cooler pregnant selves.

With all those dwelven pimps around, there is little chance that a mating would not produce offsrping.

If you think of it hard enough, dwelfs are closely related to elarves (singular: elarf).

Elarfs? That's just ridiculous. Seriously, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I wasn't. I'm well aware that half-giants can't breed with humans... nor dwelves.

wonder if the mods could put dwelfs on the banned list along with all those naughty swear words (and any thread starting with the words "kalak champion or not?") :P

See DracoChapel misses me. Only I have the twisted mindset enough to post something like this, so he missed me and posted this in my honor.

Thank you DracoChapel.

Maybe you would have to send a dwelf in with a wetsuit and a divers helmet.
