[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 6979531, member: 53176"] The Fire Giant Dreadnought is a fright train come undone. The proverbial Hard Place on the other side of the Rock. When I first saw this picture I envisioned them as a living extension of a dungeon wall, forcing the PC's into traps. And that's how you should use them really. You could send them out as political envoys or living siege engines, but these things shine at home, in the narrow under-volcano tunnels next to their foundry where they can make the best use of their charges. In fact, just have it toss the PC's into the forge, it's simple, flavorful, and what they do for a living. Dreadnoughts also pair well extremely well with Arcane Casters like Sorcerers and Wizards. Not only can the Dreadnought benefit from some kind of AoE knockdown, or a magical wall, they can herd the PC's into tighter formations where AoEs will be more effective. And they are immune to [I]Fireball[/I]. Which is nice because [I]Fireball[/I] will also ignite some of the coal piles laying around the forge, giving the Dreadnought something else to push the PC's into. The new UA Forge Domain fits fire giants like a glove, they already favor WIS over the other Casting Stats. Technically they also have brawn, but they are giants, so whatchagonado? [/QUOTE]
