[QUOTE="deadman1204, post: 9441200, member: 7045949"] It was interesting, but it didn't do what I hoped. When a 30 foot tall giant hits you with a sword, you should go flying 50ft back, no save. In fact, your should have alot of broken bones as a minimum. Giants should have a movement of like 400, not 30. Why can they only move as fast as a human? Adults can move faster than children. The entire "large is pitifully slow" is a wierd video game trope that doesn't have any basis in the animal world. A conceit of dnd is that everything is built around human size, and anything large is just a little more powerful. For reference, the most dangerous animal for zookeepers is not a kodiak or tiger, its the elephant. They try to play with a human and accidentally squish and kill them. Elephants kill more zoo keepers than any other animal - purely on accident. Now imagine a 30 foot tall humanoid TRYING to kill you... [/QUOTE]
