[QUOTE="Derren, post: 4215448, member: 2518"] The DDM Earth Shock [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mi20080508a_etitancd.jpg[/url] And for my usual anti-4Eism: Epic Destiny fluff highly situational and disruptive if the game is not build around the idea of epic quests, archmage arcane spirit not really fitting, other abilities bland. Giants art lacks any noticeable reference object, those hill giants could also be human caveman. Abilities are average. Special point of interest: Rock Throw is different for two giants. Pros: Its simulationistic. Hill Giants rocks are small enough to be blocked, the larger Earth Titan rocks must be dodged. Cons: What if the target of the earth titan rock throw is large enough to be able to block the rocks too? Also two different mechanics with the same name is bad. Tactics are again strange. either WotC omits informations from the statblock (why preview when you leave things out?) or has a very bad hand at writing tactics which meshes with the creature writeup. Also I heard many people complaining about typos. Can someone comment on that? I as not native English speaker likely can't discover most of them. [/QUOTE]
