D&D 5E Homebrew Giant Elites

I agree with dave about warrior type for Fire Giants. However, what about a type of 'forge cleric' or 'war cleric' for the Fire Giant? From my perspective that would work too.

Fire giant Kin could get proficiency with Smiths tools, and maybe heavy armor proficiency. I'd probably give them resistance to fire damage, and some sort of add fire damage X to one melee attack Y times per day sort of ability.

Already have one of those.

FYI, @Demetrios1453 already did these two:
Fire Giant Pyromancer
Fire Giant Duke

Though looking at the Duke again it looks like something has been deleted or maybe the stat block is simpler than I remember.

EDIT: That is the old version of the Fire Giant Duke, there is an updated version hidden in here somewhere!

I gave the cleric some of the original Duke's powers, and then posted a new version of the Duke. Both versions of the Duke are still available on this thread.

OK, that makes me come back to something I have thought a few times but didn't want to ask: Do you think you could update the OP with a link to the various giants? It is difficult to find them sprinkled throughout the entire thread.

What about a fire giant that trains hell hounds? Maybe a sort of two-weapon beastmaster type?

And, on another note, what about a frost giant wrestler/bare-knuckle fighter?

That's actually not a bad idea, and I'll try to get to that sometime in the next few days or so.

The Monster Manual Expanded II from the DM's Guild has one of those, so I would need to put some sort of spin on it to make it different. I have the same issue with a Frost Giant bard-type, although that one should be easier to work around and create something unique.
