Anders Johnson, a Swedish artist over on ArtStation, has an awesome image in which he compares the relative sizes of various D&D giants.
Didn't they increase the size of wyrmlings at least? They used to be Small but are now Medium.My biggest issue with giant size is that they haven't increased the size of dragons to compensate (like they did in 2e)
What's the point of having both ogres and hill giants if they're both going to be the same size? They both fill the "big dumb brute" roll ...I too prefer Hill giants to be large, not huge.
Agreed. I tend to give my giants a knock-back effect on a hit.... and Giants are one opponent, among very few, that really should have forced-move effects on a hit, to reflect this)
Perhaps. Still, I was glad when they increased the size of giants for 5e.That's what I'd see as a Cloud Titan or Elemental - it left Giant behind long ago.
Isn’t that kinda how the Greeks thought of giants though? After all the Gigantes (Giants) are described as "These creatures were unsurpassed in the size of their bodies and unconquerable by virtue of their power. "That's what I'd see as a Cloud Titan or Elemental - it left Giant behind long ago.

When I think of the iconic storm giant, he is rising from the deep, a whole ship comparable in scale to his face!
Nor I, as my shorts would be full either way!Honestly, It wouldn't matter if I saw 21' tall or a 24' tall Cloud Giant, I'd never be able to tell the difference.
