    QUESTION: GOLIATH UNDER DOUBLED WEIGHT By adjusted density by graviturgist
    ARE YOU NOW CONSIDERED LARGE IN ALL PHYSICAL ABILITY CHECKS as LITTLE GIANT AND Proficiency in Athletics goliaths racial ability triggers?
    Volos says Goliath weight a minimum of 200lbs so a obese goliath can weight easily over 350
    doubled goliath weight range = 400lbs - 700lb and a bit over that means anyone pushing hauling or dragging you if large or smaller is testing there ENCUMBRANCE.
    Adult red dragon 60x27=1620
    Young red dragon 30x23=690 so a goliath can weight more than a Young red Dragon, and goliaths can drag a red dragon
    With str 18 each goliath dragging 1080 lbs
    A gang of 10 goliath barbarians are more terrifying than a Adult red dragon Add a siege weapon they can all pull one and its a 10 individual Army conquering kingdoms with pure muscle.
    AND THEY ARE ACCLIMATED TO EXTREME COLD so they can eat and hunt white chromatic dragons like a preferred delicacy.
    THEY ARE WHITE WALKERS COLD MEANS NOTHING TO THEM
    IM pretty sure graviturgist goliaths or goliaths hiring graviturgists would be so powerful
