[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9506497, member: 4937"] Giants are generally end game foes in my game, similar to how they appear in the original G1-3 series. Giants in my homebrew world are the offspring of dalliances between the gods and genies, with each giant race representing offspring of different elemental genies. They differ from typical D&D giants in that their alignment tends to follow from their parentage, and so you are more likely to find a variety of giant personalities. Also, as in Greek myths, killing giants can earn you the enmity of their immortal parents. For the levels I play at (usually under 12th), giants (and dragons) are more like background threats than commonly foes. They are often in the background signifying, "Yes, you can just be squashed." With giants you are more likely to encounter them as a social encounter than a combat one, though combat does happen. Hill Giants and Ogres are the product of breeding between giants and mortals. Hill giants are commonly members of human society and ogres commonly members of goblin society. Trolls are a type of fairy in my game, so that's a whole other conversation. [/QUOTE]
