For some reason, it seems that every edition we go back and forth about the size of giants in the game.
In Fourth Edition, the few giants that were huge (storm, cloud) in Third Edition, shrunk down to Large. Now in Fifth, it looks like the giants that traditional were Large (Hill, Fire, Stone, Frost) all blew up to Huge.
I have a zillion beautiful giant miniatures, including many I painted myself, and they are mostly Large sized hill, stone, frost and fire giants. I will not readily agree to toss them aside for Fifth Edition. Is the impact of size in Fifth Edition combat significant?
I may come up with alternate stats for "half-giants" or "young giants" to use my Large minis. But if I use the stats in the Monster Manual except for Large instead of Huge size, would the CR be impacted? I welcome any feedback on this.
