In play
Giant: prowess rises by 6, health falls by 0.25, attraction opinion falls by 5, tribal ruler opinion rises by 10, glory hound vassal opinion rises by 10, and opinion of giant characters rises by 20. Giant is a prowess trait with a health cost. Tribal rulers and glory hound vassals read it as impressive, and other giants agree. Dwarf is the opposite.
How to get Giant
- Gain: Congenital: inherited from parents who have or carry Giant (base 80% if both parents have it, 25% if only one does), and about 0.5% of children are born with it at random. It is also one of the defects inbreeding produces: children of related parents can be born with it, and a parent with Giant makes the Inbred trait possible for children of a related couple. A few rare DLC events can also grant it.
- Remove or lose: Permanent for practical purposes: no treatment or decision removes it, and the character can still pass the trait on to children.
Giant and Dwarf are opposites, so a character never has both. The Blood legacy Architected Ancestry can set Giant as your dynasty's favoured trait, giving newborn dynasty members without Giant or Dwarf a 5% chance (10% if a parent is a player) to be born a Giant.

Questions about Giant
How do you get the Giant trait in CK3?
Giant is congenital. Children inherit it from Giant parents (base 25% with one Giant parent, 80% with two), about 0.5% of births roll it at random, and the Architected Ancestry dynasty legacy can make it more common in your house.
Is Giant a good trait in CK3?
It is mixed: Giant gives +6 prowess and impresses tribal rulers and glory hounds, but costs health and attraction, and because it enables inbreeding it is risky in close-kin marriages.
