Giants are often first encountered singly or in small family groups, either menacing a local community or preying on travelers through mountainous country. At higher levels they may be found in larger tribes, often working with by lesser creatures such as ettins, trolls and even lowly orcs, along with the occasional powerful enemy such as a dragon. With almost as much versatility as the typical humanoid creature, most giant races are capable of advancing in character classes, and whether simple barbarians to capitalize on their obvious strengths or more dangerous classes such as the much-feared giant sorcerers, adepts, and clerics, these advanced giants can provide a serious boost to the challenge set by any giant encounter.
This present volume comprises knowledge drawn from scholarly studies alongside tactics and survival tips offered by adventurers who have tangled with giants and lived to tell the tale. Games Masters will learn many intricate details about giant life and culture, enabling them to make truly memorable encounters with this race for their players, while the players themselves may learn a fact or two that might just save the lives of their characters.
You will find detailed information on giant physiology, habitat, and society, giving you a fundamental level of understanding on how this race exists and interacts with the rest of the world. Players can learn the types of combat tactics giants are likely to employ against their characters and Games Masters are given guidelines on how to introduce giants into their existing campaigns, and will also benefit from material demonstrating how to portray these creatures to the players. Several new giant races can change the expectations of any encounter, as do the new giant feats that alter the standard giant into something even more terrifying. Scenario hooks and more information on giants’ bags round out the portrayal of this dangerous foe. Finally, a complete adventure, The Fire Giant’s Bride, is presented to offer more of an insight into giant culture and lairs.
