Fun fact about Cloud Giants is that they will from time to time consider themselves royalty among the tiny folk, collecting taxes and tributes from them in exchange for protecting their domain. So the next time your adventures are brought before the king, instead of making it some dusty old human why not make it a shiny cloud giant?

I have a human UA ranger that is basically that. His name is Jack Tigs (a play on "Jack the Giant Slayer"). It turns out that Improved Favored Enemy + Sharpshooter = a whole lotta damage. Also his other feat is Skulker which on a Ranger is hilarious.

The ordning is so strict even the lowest fire giant can tell what a frost giant king what to do so I can imagine that maybe the king makes it easy for a group of adventurers to kill fire giant by not directly interfering with them.

Ah... great summary. I'm *so* happy you pointed out the Nordic basis of giants. That was always true with AD&D giants. Greek influences were mere window dressing. When I DM'd, my players always took giants seriously only when playing may campaigns because I am a mythology lover. In my games, they were sentient beings, not mere monsters to battle... like all intelligent beings. Oh, and the Frost Giant having White Dragon slaves (pets) is an interesting note that changes from campaign to campaign. And Rune Magic only works with some certain extra organs giants have that non-giants can never grow. You can cast Read Magic then cast Write a rune magic thing from a stone tablet of a single page but it translates to the normal magical writing of a wizard, having lots of pages. Even still, the giant's rune magic spell translation may need one of giant blood to cast it for the spell to work. Spell thieves shun rune magic finds, no gain there. When I run a campaign that has half-giants, I also allow the kit of Dragon Slayer... and half-dragons as a race. That dichotomy must be part of the campaign. Dwarves, albeit short and stocky, are really important as the tiny guys who can fight giants. That's a cultural big deal on both sides. Only Rangers who specialize against giants are better in combat against them (Dwarves have their kinsmen, an advantage anti-giant rangers do not).

An important aspect of giants that I think Davvy glosses over is the fact that every Giant has rules for where they rank in the ordning amongst their own kind. Hill giants- how fat you are Stone giants-artistic skill Frost Giants-badassery Fire Giants-Blacksmithing skill Cloud giants-wealth Storm giants-raw power I could be wrong, but I think that’s it.

If I remember correctly in older editions lore hill giants had game in which they would take people (or dwarfs) and throw them around like a ball and eat them at the end. Thats both scary and somewhat funny, reminds me of classical fairy tails somehow.

What about the Giantkin? The two headed Ettins, the near-sighted Cyclopes, and the *11 feet tall pale-skinned 110% Irish looking* Firbolgs?

Last time I was this early, One Saturday Morning was still on the air with Saturday morning cartoons. 😂 Seriously though, I love the concept of giants in D&D. I haven’t had a chance to encounter them in my campaign yet, but I just think they’re Neat™️.

This is very important, Cloud giants can yeet a creature 60ft If you have a totem of the bear Bar-Bar who wields a Giant Slayer Axe, because you wanted to give her a magical weapon over a year ago that wasn’t going to be over powered for your game at the time- Anyway the Barbarian should have a movement speed of 50ft, you can just keep yeeting her 60ft so she has to use her movement and action to get into combat- It doesn’t do a ton of damage, but watching your player who has thwarted many BBEGs in your campaign, lose their shit because they can’t get a single hit in is the best feeling ever

They hunt me with dogs in the daylight, they hunt me with torches by night. For these men who are small can never stand tall, whilst giants still walk in the light.

One has to wonder if humans in D&D have giant ancestry. I know in the Bible humans used to be giants. So if that was applied to D&D lore it would involve humans being cursed by their creator due to an event similar to the Garden of Eden. Having humans originally be former giants could add a lot even if it's a retcon, but it could bring about long forgotten history in some settings.

Not exactly. Look up the Thousand Year War. There are different accounts on how it ended but basically it was a stalemate. Even though ancient dragons have higher CR's, there were more giants than dragons and it was so long ago that there weren't many ancient dragons by that point. Also, this was before Annam was forced to leave the material plane when giants were semi-immortal (like Tolkien's elves).
