Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

That looks better!

Suggested natural armor values by size?

Do the damages look reasonable?

 

[freyar]

Cloud and storm giants have +12 natural and regular armor. So I could see anywhere from +12 to +16 for the Large version, advancing as usual by size, plus usually some kind of armor as at least an option. How's that sound?

I think damage looks ok if we go to 1-1/2 Str on the slam and give them additional options (possibly weapons, outsized weapons, rend, etc).

 

[demiurge1138]

Let's go +15 for the Large guys. Agreed that they should at least have the option of wearing armor.

Updated.

Shall we work on the various powers they might aquire?

Based on freyar's suggestions, and some of the Wikipedia stuff, we have a partial list:

Oversized Weapon (like a titan)

Rend/Pummel

Born with Armaments (give 'em special armor and/or weapons)

"Invincible, so long as his feet remained firmly planted on his native soil" (Alcyoneus)

From Antaeus and Enceladus:

Catch Spells

Earth Mastery

Frightful Presence

Instantaneous Healing

Growth

Some interesting inspiration here:

Water walking

All-around vision

Animalistic traits

Breath weapon

The Alcyoneus one looks a lot like Antaeus's Instantaneous Healing, I think.

I'll try to cook up some more ideas this weekend. That's a good start.

How's the cooking going? Are you slow-cooking it in a crock pot?

Ooops, this one got away from me.

That link you provide gives the whirlpool of Charybdis: how about a variation on the suction-vortex ability (we gave this to something aquatic a while back).

Maybe we have enough?

 

[Shade]

Good idea! I'll try to compile some of these into the Homebrews entry and see where we're at.

This is where I start wondering why I suggested making tables.
