They also enjoy excellent health, never seeming to die in childbirth. This is partially because some giantesses are sterile when they have human partners. Many are long-lived, a quality they seem to empart upon their children. In game terms, they roll on the aging table only every second year between the ages of 35 and 55. None seems to die in the Arthurian stories, instead fading away, presumably into Faerie.
Many female giants have magical properties beyond their health and beauty.
Flowers spring from Olwen's footsteps, for example. Custennin's wife, assuming for the moment that she is a giantess, can twist fire logs with her bare hands. Gamesmasters designing a giantess should choose a minor magical effect that symbolises some facet of her personality and apply it. These effects are not always useful or visual, and gamesmasters are encouraged to be creative. As with many Fae, giantesses speak the Universal Language and so can communicate with humans from any region.
