    Default Half Goliath

    In Races of Stone there are a couple fun prestige classes that are Goliath race specific. I was thinking about building a Half-Goliath to gain the the racial requirement but cut it down to get rid of the +1 LA. I'm thinking Power Build has to go. Here is what I came up with. I know its nothing exciting but I was hoping for opinions in case I overlooked something.
    Thanks

    The raised by goliaths version seems ok, but the raised by humans version seems a bit strong... it has everything the human does, plus the strength bonus.
