[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8564244, member: 57383"] Moving on to [I][B]Actions[/B][/I], the [B][I]Fist[/I][/B] attack seems a bit weak. A Fire Giant gets two Greatsword Attacks for 28 (6d6 + 7) which is much better than the 18½ average of the Blue Fire Giant's 3d6 + 8. A Storm Giant does 30 (6d6 + 9) which is even better. How about adding some fire damage like the [B][I]Molten Rock[/I][/B]? If it punched for 18 (3d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus 11 (2d10) fire damage the average would by 29½, which seems more competitive. Also, I liked the idea of the [B][I]Blue Flame Torch[/I][/B] an earlier version of this giant possessed. How about reviving that ability? It's got Earth and Fire themed attacks but nothing from the Storm side of its parentage, so maybe these blue flames do lightning damage, or both fire and lightning damage? I'm imagining a combination of a [I]flameblade[/I] and the 30 ft. ranged attack form of [I]produce flame[/I], not a long distance attack like the 500 ft. range of a Storm Giant's lightning. That suggests it'd be a [I]Melee and Ranged Weapon Attack[/I], but it could work as an Area of Effect attack too. I'm thinking more a cone or line emanating from the giant like some dragons' [B][I]Flame Breath[/I][/B] but it could be a distant radius like a Storm Giant's [B][I]Lightning Strike[/I][/B]. Presumably the damage will be a bit less than a Storm Giant though, since this giant is CR 11 rather than 13. While it could be a high damage attack that requires Recharge like the aforementioned lightning, I'm leaning more towards it being usable at-will and of average damage, on par with the Blue Fire Giant's thrown rocks and fists.
