[QUOTE="Bitbrain, post: 8450909, member: 6863864"] I’m really enjoying this thread a lot and feel like sharing two examples of giants and age categories work in my games. CLOUD GIANTS [LIST=1] [*]Young cloud giants are essentially regular D&D cloud giants. [*]Adult and Ancient cloud giants start the transition to “stellar” pseudo-deity. They develop innate divination magics, their weapons glow with radiant energy, and they can increase or reverse gravity in specified areas around them. [*]Titan cloud giants are more commonly known as “Star Titans”. They gain the ability to pull shooting stars down from the sky to bomb their enemies à la Thanos from [I]Avengers: Infinity War[/I]. [/LIST] FROST GIANTS [LIST=1] [*]Young frost giants are slightly more magical versions of regular D&D frost giants. They can create localized ice storms, basically. [*]Adult and Ancient frost giants start the transition to “entropic” pseudo-deity. They develop innate necromancy magics, their touch drains health from a target, and the ice storms they create deal necrotic damage as well as cold. [*]Titan frost giants are more commonly known as “Death Titans”. They gain a breath weapon of sorts that pulls you towards them. If you fail the saving throw, you get sucked into their mouth and they start biting down on you. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
