[QUOTE="QuaziquestGM, post: 3596505, member: 22559"] I'm wondering how anyone survived this series. Never mind the giants for a moment.... A pack of polar bears that fight as cave (Dire) bears? packs of hell hounds and frost wolves. ice toads with no save 3d6 cold radiation attacks. Creative applications of contact poison.... This should be interesting.... I'm probably going to mix up the giant stats a bit. Since I already established that "Hill Giants" have 235 hp, I'm just going to have their HP vary wildly and have them come in various sizes. I think that I will keep the original dragon rules. Breath weapon damage = hp of dragon...saves me some die rolls. I also think that I will drop the 3.5 grid and just use a yard stick and circular based minis. The original rules were more realistic as opposed to "Game based" about the amount of space that beings occupy. There are some 40 X 40 caves with 14 giants in them, so to have room for pcs the bases of the pc minies will need to overlap with the bases of the huge giant minies. More WYSIWYG than grid....Should make attacks of opportunity and eyeballing AOE spells interesting..... Oh...anyone know what a "Rod of cold" is? [/QUOTE]
