The Verbeeg are just as hearty and lusty as the Firbolg, and like all the same things their cousins like, but are not as at liberty to enjoy themselves. To be born a Verbeeg, your parents or grand-parents had to have been sentenced to the mines. The crimes for which this is the penalty are violent crimes, like murder, and social crimes, like having too much initiative or imagination. This leaves the average Verbeeg a mixture of sociopath and dreamer making them bright enough to resent being in 'middle management' and mean enough to take out that resentment on others. Verbeeg player characters can be anywhere from a regular dreamer to a right royal jerk.
Typical Verbeeg lodgings are dormitories, with rooms housing several bachelors or one family.
A character unlucky enough to be a Verbeeg will usually choose from among these classes; Cleric, Fighter, Wild Mage, Thief, or Psionic. They can also be any two of the above in a multi-class.
All Giant-Kin speak the same language, called Jote, and a Verbeeg can choose from Ancient or any of the languages spoken in the Shattered Lands. Other languages are possible, but must be explained to the DM's satisfaction. Jote uses the Ancient alphabet.
A Verbeeg has exceptional resistance to toxins, just as a Firbolg does. He gets a bonus of +1 for every 3? points of constitution (see Table 9 in the PH).
The Verbeeg have infravision of 60 feet in the dark.
As Verbeeg are very tall, and usually out of proportion, they get a movement rate of 17.
The Verbeeg are an exceptionally psionic people (add 10 to base then multiply by 3 before roll).
Because of their size and build Verbeeg get to add 1 to their strength. They are, as a whole, pretty ugly, pretty mean, and pretty likely to stay that way. They need to subtract 1 from their charisma and 2 from their comeliness.
