[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 220930, member: 463"] In my lowish-magic campaign I've used a lot of giant types against low-medium level PCs. Ettins are nasty. The first Ettin they met lasted several battles, smashing into their village rooms and chasing them all over the landscape, before the climactic encounter where it killed a PC sorcerer, Vasquez, with its death-blow (it was at 0hp, but VERY angry and criticalled). The next Ettin, they were with a bunch of 12 War1 halberdiers who held it off while the new Sorcerer, Drake (brother of the previous), lightning bolted it; it took down 10 men before being bolted into submission - the last bolt also killed a War1, leaving one man standing. Conversely a hill giant in a marsh throwing rocks was swiftly bolted to death by Drake - it was on a hillock throwing rocks at him; now 7th level he was able to Haste and hit it with 2 lightning bolts for every rock it threw at him; nasty.
