Jun 03, 2009 18:51:11 So I've been thinking about reintroducing the ancient giants that once ruled Xen' Drik. I can't find any example stats for a giant of this sort. What challenge rating would fit, 12, 14,16? I would appreciate any opinions on this, or if wizards did publish stats where they might be located. Thanks

Jun 03, 2009 18:55:32 Are we talking about 3rd or 4th here?

In 3rd I liked to use Eldritch Giants for these purposes. Or perhaps the moster "Titan"

In 4th you can just use the Titans, each giant race has its own titan.

Of course it depends on whether you subscribe to the 'one pregenitor race of giants that devolved into their current forms' or whether you support the theory that there have always been variety of giants. There is actually conflicting information on this through various Eberron sources.

Jun 03, 2009 19:00:06 I apologize, I was considering stats for 3.5 edition. And yes, I was going on the concept that these ancient giants were the highest and most powerful, and all other giants have devolved from there. Although I guess that doesn't really matter.

Eldritch Giants are a nice choice. Huge sized, innate spell casting abilities.

Jun 06, 2009 12:26:54 The Primordial are okay.. but those are powerful giants that are trying to regain a fraction of the former strength and skills of the ancient giants. The more I read the more I think that these ancients need to be in the 24 - 32 CR range.
