I just realised both half-giants and alaghii are large creatures.
Since pen and paper D&D is played on maps with a 5ft. square grid, large creatures (taking up 2x2 squares) wouldn't fit in small passages or corridors that a normal sized character would.
They can also be attacked slightly easier, since they take up more space.
I'm not trying to discourage you, just making you aware of some details you might not be aware of. Hell, I'd be happy to have a game with a large character in it! You could give smaller characters piggyback rides
I'm serious.

" Level Adjustment +1: Half-Giants are more powerful than the other races of the Tablelands and gain levels accordingly. A half-giant is a two Hit Die monster and may be played without class levels as the equivalent of a third level character"
Now, his stats have actually been lowered to fit my father's DM specs, and his hps were not rolled for a second level player, but a 1st level fighter, plus his race bonus. Of course, I can always go and be a mul instead heh.

Could you post the new stats, Including AC and HP? It should be good enough.
