[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 3329602, member: 4910"] The biggest thing I do: give them an actual society. Have giants more than just big guys in caves barely scratching out an existance while they wait to get killed by some adventurer. The Against the Giants series sort of touched on this, but only just. Give some real thought to where and how they live, what they eat, how they dress, how they meet material needs given their huge size. What do they use, if anything, for labor animals? What would their social customs be? What would be their natural enemies or concerns? All that sort of thing. Now, granted, that's mostly for the lower giants: Hill, Stone, Frost and Fire. When you get into Cloud and Storm giants you really see a sharp divide between giants that have to get by in the 'real world' versus those that are much more atuned to their mythical roots. Cloud giants live in shangri-la like kingdoms atop the tallest peaks, living above the clouds or else in Jack and the Beanstalk-esque magical castles in the sky. Storm giants are damn near grecian titans - they live in the clouds, or in palaces or coral and pearl beneith the ocean. They can hurl lightning and control the weather by will alone. [/QUOTE]
