Firbolg Lineage Feats and Unique Items
Gentle fey giants, the firbolg benefit
from both their innate attunement to nature and their powerful size. Those that
grew up in woodland clans learned how best to work with it and have gained a
culture of having a role in the group rather than acting as an individual. Those
who grew apart still have their natural size advantage and inherent druidic
capabilities.

Unique
Items
Talented and well-practised
crafters of natures yield, they make the most of the resources available. These
items while meant to only be found within firbolg clans may also find their way
to speciality traders, fey creatures, or perhaps even friendly hill giants.
Broach of the Bumble Bee
Wonderous item, uncommon
(requires attunement)
A small bee shaped broach that
looks as if it’s made of solid honey. As an action you can activate this broach
by pinching the wings together, allowing you to hover 1 foot off the ground for
a minute. While you hover this way, you have small spectral bee wings coming
out of your back.
Echo Shell Armour
A less common protection but one
favoured by coastal firbolg clans are the use of specially carved turtle
shells. These are usually made into breast plate and very rarely into anything
more substantial due to the limitation of resources. Those that are made are
usually gifted forward and treated with a suitable amount of respect.

In addition, any plant that has
this applied to them, damaged or not, will retain it foliage throughout the
year.
Green Bark Armour
A common protection amongst the
forest dwelling firbolg clans, but rarely found elsewhere. The making of such
armour requires such specific skill that to tend, harvest and craft it needs no
less than one member of the group dedicated to each step. Ensuring that the
tree used does not die in the process is paramount in this, not only to
mitigate the damage they do to the natural world around them but also to keep
the natural protection of the forest alive and well in the armour they create.
