Message: <blockquote data-quote="OhHey" data-source="post: 8036577" data-attributes="member: 7025470">Amen!I created an account just to say thanks! Demetrios1453, you're an inspiration. I've added all of your giant variants to my Game Master app on iPad, and am willing to share my entire updated compendium if anyone needs it. So far, you've created: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.5 Cloud variants: Mist Assassin, Oath Guard, Shaman, Count x2</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4.5 Fire variants: Forgemaster, Mechanist, Pyromancer, Duke x2</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">6 Frost variants: Cambion, Cultist, Jarl, Reaver, War Chanter, Wrathbringer</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 Undead variants: Skeleton & Zombie. TftYP has a Giant Skeleton already; yours is CR 4; TftYP's is CR 7. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">4 Hill variants: Chief, Priest, Skirmisher, Sourbreath</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">3 Stone variants: Rock Fist, Runecarver, Thane</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">3 Storm variants: King, Omen Reader, Stalker</li> </ul>You've created giants using the following class archetypes:Artificer, Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue (x2), Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard; (Basically all of the official classes.)This is a lot of work! I'm currently running a pretty engrossing sandbox style SKT, and your work has been extremely helpful! Recommendations (not all new): <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Emperor Giant - based off classic Titan concept, perhaps with some planar magic AND combined traits of other giants. Could be evil or good, but based off Lanaxis, son of Annam. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Druid-based Stone Giant</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Beast Master based Hill Giant (others suggested Fire, but I like the idea of a Hill Giant controlling some warthogs)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Lich-themed Cloud Giant (possibly a BBEG)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Barbarian-based Storm Giant (holy crap!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Giant gods, such as Annam and Ulutiu. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Giant-kin variants for Ogres, Ettin, Voadkyn, Firbolgs, etc. </li> </ol>Additionally, the Storm Giant Quintessent from VGM has an interesting concept in that they are essentially immortal storms that sometimes turn back into giants. They are good-aligned. Perhaps the same concept could be used for the other giant types, creating end-game elementally charged forces of nature based on the various giants. And the last recommendation: Lycanthropic versions of Hill, Stone, Frost, and Fire giants. Classically, the Cloud and Storm giants would be immune. But a giant werewolf Frost giant would be amazing! A weresalamander Fire, wereboar Hill, and werecat Stone giant would all make me shiver in delight!Finally, another thank you! I'd be glad to help create some of these giants, edit the flavor text, or help in any other way if you would like the input.</blockquote>
