Challenge Rating: 5-6? They fall between the ogre and hill giant in relative power.
Level Adjustment: +5? (Most lesser giants are +4, and that immortality is a bit of boon)
Trow stand 8 to 12 feet tall and weigh x pounds. (ogres stand 9 to 10 feet tall and weigh 600 to 650 pounds, hill giants are 10-1/2 feet tall and weigh about 1,100 pounds, stone giants are about 12 feet tall and weigh about 1,500 pounds)

Gigantes
The Gigantes are a race of giants that Gaea gave birth to when the blood of her-mutilated husband fell upon her earthly form. They are huge, manlike creatures with serpents for feet. Their hatred of the Olympian gods runs deep, and they will never pass up a chance to do one harm.

MV 15 ML 16 AL ce Int low
HD 16 HP 128 MR nil THAC0 5
#AT 1 Dmg 2d8 (fist)
Special Att/Def: Varies by individual.
Each Gigante has at least one special power; for example, Antaeus heals all damage he takes each round. In combat, he also increases 2’ in size and does an additional ld8 in damage each round, to a maximum size of 21’ and a maximum of 5d8 in damage. Both of these powers work only as long as his feet are touching the ground. Another gigante, Enceladus, is so terrifying in aspect that any being seeing him must save versus spells or flee as if affected by a fear spell. Any time he saves against a magic spell, Enceladus can grab it out of the air and fling it back at his attackers. If the spell allows no saving throw, he is automatically able to use this power.
We've actually converted Antaeus and Enceladus. At the time, we didn't think a generic gigantes conversion was needed, but I'm willing to do one now if others think it is worthwhile.

Well, there are some others listed in the Enceladus entry. We could do up tables of special abilities, maybe based on HD or size, like we did for the seelie fey (but maybe not quite as many tables). Then we could fill in the other gigantes SAs based on mythology, as examples.
How's that sound?

Agreed to tables.
Speaking of... when are we going to do the Unseelie? Are we waiting for the next Fey February?
