[QUOTE="FreeTheSlaves, post: 687558, member: 9952"] My experience when the 11th level party attacked the hill giant outpost is as follows. [list] [*]Solid fog spell greatly immobilised them, forcing them to a crawl out of it in different directions as was convenient. [*]The hasted Paladin was visible and indeed was thus targetted almost exclusively. When he was made improved invisible he was criticalled and went down. Criticals hurt but that was a fluke. [*]The party out-missiled the giants badly. [*]The giants speed of 40 and light encumbrance ment that the heavily armoured could not run away. [*]On the second round of combat, a giant power attacked the lower AC monk. [*]Do not fight with a badly wounded ally up close as all giants can cleave. [*]The enchantress was twice as good as the evoker it seemed. [*]Giant senses are pretty good and they may notice those invisible by sight or sound. [*]Dire bears are good hill giant pets with scent, improved grab and fearsome combat stats. [*]Giants large size and high strength make many combat options attractive. Trip in particular is a good option for the giants last full action attack v heavily armoured foes. It is a touch attack, so easily done and the giant has the better odds. [*]A group of giants may assign one of their members to ready boulders v spellcasters. Shield spell, bracers of AC and haste will guard against this. [/list] [/QUOTE]
