# Ancestry: Firbolg <img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/hfki2BM.png' style= 'position: absolute; bottom:975px; right: 345px; height:30px'> ___ Firbolgs are fey-oriented half-giants. Their tribes cloister in remote forest strongholds, preferring to spend their days in quiet harmony with the woods. Centuries later, the magic of the forest still thrums inside the firbolg, even one who has never lived under the boughs of a great forest. A firbolg’s magic is an obscuring sort, which allowed their ancestors to pass through a forest without disturbing it. So deep is the connection between a firbolg and the wild places of the world that they can communicate with flora and fauna. ___ Firbolgs appear as tall, hairier humans with slight bovine facial features, long floppy ears, and a bovine tail. ### Firbolg Traits **Ability Score Increase.** One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another by 1, to a maximum of 20. ___ **Age.** As humanoids related to the fey, firbolg have long lifespans.
