[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4127785, member: 10784"] Just curious as to how big they are? According to the MM, a hill giant weighs about 1,100 pounds, or a little more than 6 times a normal human adult male at 175 pounds. They are only about twice as tall as a normal human male, if that. However, a range increment for a thrown rock is 120' - given they are about 6 times heavier than a human, does that mean it is the equivalent of how much a human can throw about 20 feet? A gallon of milk is about 8 1/2 pounds. Can a normal human toss a gallon of milk that far easily? If a human can toss an 8 1/2 pound weight 20 feet, is that like a hill giant toss a 51 pound rock 120 feet? And, what kind of throw do they make? Is it like throwing a football or baseball? Or, is it a big heave like an Olympic shot putter or discus thrower? (I might be able to throw a gallon of milk 20 feet if I wound up, but not sure I could do it overhand throwing it like a football or baseball) [/QUOTE]
