[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 8130567, member: 6906155"] Activating runes is a "once per short rest (upgrades to twice)". Activating Giant's Might is 2+ per long rest. Using both in every fight is a bit extravagant, and I expect not intended in a standard adventuring day. But Giant's Might is a bonus action, and the runes vary, some are reactions, some are bonus actions, some are part of an attack. It's only really one combo - Giant's Might + Hill Giant that takes "two rounds to get going". That this is the one everyone is talking about suggests it[I] needs [/I]the slow start to balance it's power. In actual play you should have some idea if you expect to be taking heavy damage or not, and therefore if you want to use the Hill rune. Potentially you might get more damage mitigation from the fire or stone runes. One curious feature: Giant's Might works with ranged attacks. [/QUOTE]
