The Giff society is structured like a military force, where everyone has a rank and purpose. They all fill their role, and they all know how to fight. They are experts in military strategies and know how to use anything from guns and barrels of gunpowder to swords and unarmed combat.

The Giff are often mercenaries that lend their power and expertise to other races that have enough coin to afford a group. The Giff always travel in groups so if you want to hire them, you must hire the whole group.

The Giff have a home somewhere out between the stars, but everyone has forgotten its locations even the Giff and some of them dream about the day that they can find it and return home. There are Giff that dedicate their life to search for this lost world.

When making a Giff adventurer you must think about why your character isn’t whit the rest of his kind. maybe he was captured by an enemy and managed to escape, maybe he was left, or he discovered that the rest of his group was corrupted and evil. Talk with your DM to figure out how your character fit into the world.
