[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 4245130, member: 61182"] Two more Spelljammer creatures - yay! Somebody poke me when you get to these guys. :cool: (Bosk Giants and Swamp Giants live on the planet Chislev, so it [B]might[/B] be worth looking at the Dragonlance god Chislev, and the other two Dragonlance nature gods - Habbakuk and Zeboim for ideas. The Desolation Giant, Half-Giant and (Goblin) Cave Lord from Bestiary of Krynn might also be helpful. I'd say that most Bosk Giants would worship Zeboim and most Swamp Giants, including the Shamen and Druids, would worship Chislev, although this worship could be totally different from the sort of worship these gods get on Ansalon. Some sort of sidebar mentioning appropriate parts of DLCS and HootS could be appropriate. I'd say these creatures are "groundlings" by SJ standards, so they probably don't need anything from Beyond the Moons.) There would be some advantages in making them more compatible with "ogre barbarians". Firstly they could get barbarian as a favored class and secondly the barbarian class level could stack with their racial HD for calculating rage. But you could give them some sort of "Improved Rage" ability that is more like the wild version and replaces the normal rage in Stonecrow Ogre Barbarian NPCs/PCs. [/QUOTE]
