Message: <blockquote data-quote="Demetrios1453" data-source="post: 8652453" data-attributes="member: 6801060">So, kind of going back a bit on the subject...Fizban's has 20 different dragon types that get deep dives, making up the core of the book. Can we do something similar with giants?Currently, 5e has:6 "classic" giant types: Hill, stone, frost, fire, cloud, and storm.5 giant-kin: Cyclopes, ettins, fomorians from MM; firbolgs and verbeegs from more recent books.4 "other" giant types: Ogres, oni, and trolls from the MM; goliaths from other books.1 non-classic giant: Fog (from Mordenkainen's Fiendish Folio on D&DB)That's 16 right there, even if it's cheating a little to add firbolgs and goliaths (which, as PC races, are still considered humanoid; but then again, so are dragonborn, and they got coverage in Fizban's). It would be easy to add in a few more non-classic giants from previous editions (such as jungle, mountain, and ocean; as well as voadkyn as a giant-kin). to get us up to 20. Once we have that, the book could easily parallel what we got in Fizban's, with a player option section focused on firbolgs and goliaths, giant creation myths that could compare/contrast with the draconic ones given in Fizban's, the section focusing on each individual giant type (and they could just lift the giant lairs from SKT wholesale if they wanted), and a bestiary with the giants updated from previous editions, as well as giant variants from those that are already have been updated (and, there is plenty of room for variants; I have a whole thread here where I created a couple dozen or so variants for 5e, not to mention [USER=77670]@Nixlord[/USER]'s MME books on the DM's Guild ). And, given what else is in this UA, more dinosaurs! Everything is cooler with more dinosaurs!</blockquote>
