[QUOTE="Fishbone, post: 2980461, member: 40849"] I was going to say that, too. If the caster has some spells that require reflex saves with medium range or better these things are going to get their gooses cooked. If I was the Sorcerer I think I'd open up with some Confusions, Hold Monsters, and so forth. Assuming a 20 Charisma, which is pretty possible at this point, if not expected, the Frost Giants are facing the possibility of failing on anything below a 13. If the Sorcerer has feats like Empower and Maximize those Fireballs will be doing mega damage. Also, don't forget about spells like Ray of Dizziness that don't allow saves and have some fairly nasty affects going for them. Round 1: The Ranger picks out a Frost Giant of choice and says "You is my BEEYOTCH!" He should be Hasted at this point, too. Assuming a 14 Strength with a Mighty Longbow and 20 Dex and Rapid Shot the ranger will hit for 4d8+20 damage. The Sorcerer will neuter the beeyotch Giant with a well placed Confusion, Evard's Black Tentacles, or Hold Monster. The Pally will reach into the golf bag and plink the beeyotch Frost Giant for something like 1d8+3. One of the Frost Giants will try to close with a charge if a spell like Confusion or Evard's isn't slowing him down. He'll smack the caster for a fairly solid Power Attacked Morningstar wallop, say 4d6+28 or 4d6+30 damage. Everybody will move away from the Giant, but he'll still be menacing until he fails against a status affect spell and gets neutered, too. Take him down at leisure and then mop up the beeyotch giant.
