[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 4389593, member: 61182"] [B]On armor:[/B] I concur with this. They have thick skin and don't wear much. [B]On weapons:[/B] ...and... Could we not do [B]both[/B]? Most Bosk Giants could have great clubs, but the most intellegent ones could "whittle" themselves the uber-morningstar. A GM could then put down 5 Bosk Giants and give the leader a spikey club and the rest the blunt clubs. [B]On hide bonuses:[/B] You need to put jungle in the list because Chislev is a global jungle where the only variety is the type of tree in the various forests. Page 43 of SJR7 Krynnspace says: "Chislev is a jungle. From pole to pole this world is covered with plants. Chislev has no oceans and only a few dozen lakes. Most of the water on this world is choked with vegitation". [B]On Bosk Giant slavery:[/B] Here is a useful quote from page 45 of SJR7: The humans (taken as slaves) and demi-humans mostly live at the cooler poles of Chislev. They are all uneducated barbarians, and all of the giant races think of them as little more than animals. That isn't necessarily going to apply to other gameworlds, so I think you are right to swap the races that Bosk Giants target. I think that if a GM is going to put these creatures on another game world, they should stick them in a swamp or wet jungle and have them raid all nomadic races in the area. [B]On bosk giant society:[/B] Village leaders need to be good fighters, and I'd love to see most of the leaders get the Gargantuan morningstar that demiurge brought up. All Chislev giants look down on smaller races, but the bosk giants seem to especially think of themselves as the "master race". I think that bosk giants should use their slaves the way that a shepherd would use a dog to heard sheep or a tracker would use a dog to follow a scent trail. Mind you, I'm not entirely sure what role a slave can take in a crude village, especially one that is built in swamps. Maybe they tend to the stagnant pools of water that the bosk giants like to drink from. Slaves could dig holes that fill up with stale water. [/QUOTE]
