Show

While in human societies the rights of such leisure classes are typically belonging to political dominance, among giants the hill-dwellers are looked upon with a fond sort of pity, cursed to serve only limited purposes.

History DC 15: Hill giants usually tend to control their mood and maintain good relationship with fey creatures like dryads and satyrs. For an unknown reason (probally due to all of them have innitial nature magic and hedonism life style), hill giants view such creatures as "smaller giants but still deserve respection".
Nature DC 10: Though hill giants typically carry sacks of good throwing rocks if they expect conflict, they prefer to throw whatever comes to hand in their environment, due to their tendency to develop strong attachments to their throwing rocks, often naming each individually and telling stories featuring the rocks as characters.
Nature DC 15: The only labor that hill giants are mandated is the gardens they take care of. With the help of their strenth and magic, vegetables and fruits can grow into enormous size. Sometimes, those plants will be handed down to humanoid society. Stories like bean stalk tall enough to reach the cloud palace or pumpkin coach given by fairy godmother are based on these plants.
Nature DC 20: True giants have a strange reproducing process. The remain of a true giant will turn into elemental mineral. When a member of their kind breathe their life force into such mineral, new members of them will slowly form within the mineral.

Religion DC 15: Hill giants' mandate in the ordning is to pursue epicurean novelty and delight and share such experience with smaller folks. Those with the broadest experience and most refined palettes are considered repositories of divine wisdom.

Spoiler: Stone Giants

Show

Stones are not dead. They live and breathe, grow and learn. To stone giants who know their language, who study their subtleties, the stones speak of all they have witnessed in eras long past, sharing freely of their wisdom and perspective. The creatures that reproduce and wither quickly across the surface like insects know nothing of the stones, however. They haven't the patience to listen, nor the knowledge to apprise, nor the wisdom to remain silent, so they live their pitiable life lack of meaning or purpose, incapable of grasping any truth but which violence teaches.

Lores:
Arcana DC 10: Frost giants are capable of raising great fortifications of ice and snow with their innitial cyromancy, though such constructions are exceedingly temporary, especially when introduced to fire.
Arcana DC 15: Frost giants are the only type of true giants who keep Bards to remind the glory of their ancestors. Such Bards are known for being able to inspire the determination of their kind.
History DC 10: Frost giants respect individual combat prowess and mastery of improvised poetry and boasts above all else, even when such traits present in non-giantkin.
Nature DC 10: Evil frost giants are infamous for attacking travelers under the cover of foul weather, with many claiming that their runes are able to conjure such blizzards, though others assert that they simply follow the storms opportunistically.
Nature DC 15: The hatred towards heat stops frost giants from becoming blacksmith. As a result, frost giants mainly rely on their cyromancy to create tools, runes and weapons. Only on rare occations will a frost giant use metal like humanoids.
Nature DC 20: True giants have a strange reproducing process. The remain of a true giant will turn into elemental mineral. When a member of their kind breathe their life force into such mineral, new members of them will slowly form within the mineral. This is one of the reasons why true giants are few and only live in limited environment.
Religion DC 15: Frost giants are mandated by the ordning to protect the balance of the nature world. Their innitial talent to knowledge about nature and great strenth help them monitor the change of their home and hunt down dangerous monsters before they can threaten the entire area. However, some frost giants misinterpret their duty and view humanoid society as a threaten to take down, or more likely, simply forget their obligation and join the many pillagers of the Boreal environment.
Religion DC 20: Although all giants have a certain degree of ancestor worshipment, frost giants are the most devout. Many frost giants believe that their spirit will rise into the hall of Jotunheim, a realm located in frostfell where frost giants get their final judgement by their ancestor to convine whether they can be one of the Einherjar or reincarnate into new giants by turning into mineral.

History DC 15: Mercury giants are sometimes blamed by other true giants for their creation of fomorian. Good mercury giants are said to search the way to save their cousins while evil ones kill any fomorian in their sight and deny their relationship with such monster.
Nature DC 10: Mercury giants stay in the fortresses of the giant empires found in untouched jungles, studying the secrets of magic and arcana. They have little better to do than engaging in their studies, crafting runes, and practicing their telekinesis power.

Lores about Fomorians and their curse:
Fomorians are the corrupted cousins of mercury giants. It is said that long ago a group of evil mercury giants wanted to grow their number rapidly in order to compete with the dragons. Under the help of Unseelie Court, these giants captured 1001 fairy prince and princess and used a darkart to drain their life force and then putted them into the elemental mineral that giants use to reproduce. The spirits of the victims made a horrible curse to the mercury giants which result in their descendants inside the mineral mutated and collapsed into twisted mockery. Those giantkins were soon abandoned by their creators into the underdark and became a new type of creature known as "Fomorians" through influnce from the magic energy flowing through their home. Some true giants, especially good mercury giants, view fomorians as pitiable cousins who fall victim to the wild ambition of others. Fomorians however, only see other giants as food resources as they do to any other creature.
The body mutation prevents fomorians from using elemental magic like their cousins, but gives them a more horrible weapon--Fomorian's Curse. Any creature who has been stared by a fomorian will be influnce by the similiar curse affecting the monster. The victims will be engulfed by the abomination that drives these folks mad while their body melt into a pile of flesh for the fomorian to consume.

Lores:
Arcana DC 10: Among the most impressive feats of cloud giants is their arialmancy to impose a wide range of physical and magical properties on even very fluid substances, such as air and cloud, something usually considered beyond the capabilities of mortal beings' transmutation magics.
Arcana DC 15: Cloud giants are capable of shockingly delicate and precise runecrafting. However, their legends and sagas never praise the creation of runes, but how ancient cloud giants gambled with otherworldly lords and won powers from them. Treasures like a feather from a solar angel that flashes at night or a teeth knocked from a demonlord that seeks for blood are believed to enriched the gamblers' vault and brought them to the top of their era.
History DC 10: Cloud giants are famous or infamous for asking for tributes from humanoids living below them. They have two reasons for such behavior. First, the exsitance of a giant can drive dangerous monsters such as manticores and wyverns away. Second, cloud giants believe they still have rights over their ancient realms, which means humanoids should pay tributes for the giants' tolerance towards them. As a reward, good cloud giants will help control the weather and share their food with their small neibours if an unavoidable starvation occurs.
History DC 15: Instead of skills, cloud giants judge their place by the wealth they gain. While other giants polish their knowledge, experince and talent day by day, cloud giants follow the simple rule of "the more you gain means the more efforts you made". Cloud giants gain their wealth mainly by making trades between humanoids, feys and elemental creatures. All of them are born as charming merchants with precise intuition. Some cloud giants also gamble to get fast money.
History DC 20: The creation of a cloud palace is an exhausting process performed over the course of a year by at least six cloud giants working under the direction of a highland architect. During the process, seven single pebbles are inscribed with hundreds of interlocking runes by the giants. Once a suitable cloud is found, the pebbles are placed somewhere within it, gradually fortifying the cloud. After the process, the runes lose their power while the cloud is permanently changed into a floating island for giants to live on.
Nature DC 10: Cloud giants are able to solidify the air beneath their feet, producing an effect much like skiming as they run and leap through low air.
Nature DC 15: Cloud giants mainly live on palaces located on floating islands. With the protection of special rune, such sanctuaries remain a climate weather. Cloud giants sometimes also hire hill giants as their gardeners. With the labor of both folks, drought and pests never treaten their gardens.
Nature DC 20: True giants have a strange reproducing process. The remain of a true giant will turn into elemental mineral. When a member of their kind breathe their life force into such mineral, new members of them will slowly form within the mineral. This is one of the reasons why true giants are few and only live in limited environment.
Religion DC 15: Cloud giants are mandated by the ordning to maintain stewardship of the world's wealth, to relieve it from the hands of the undeserving and safeguard it against those that would use it for wrong purpose.

Fire giants suffer neither weakness nor dullness. In their fortresses built around oceans of rock and sand they forge themselves and their material, crafting works of great mechanical intricacy and breath-takingly delicate rune magic. This is often not a pragmatic exercise, however, but one of worship, as it is their place in the great ordning to emulate the exquisite craftsmanship and martial prowess of their earliest forebears.

Lores:
Arcana DC 10: Fire giants are masters of pyromancy. All of them can hurl fireballs or turn into tumbling smoke cloud at will.
Arcana DC 15: Fire giant runecrafters, who are adepts even at the standard of giants, learn through careful dedication to wield magics of elemental flame. They are also fond of the art of mechanics and constructs which means they are both engineers and casters of the giant society.
History DC 10: The magic items that fire giants created are usually viewed as miracles by the standard of humanoid. An automatic servant, a magical carpet that flies or a special ring that can commune with ancestors are just a tip of iceburg comparing to the giants' craftmanship. Many adventurers seek to find one of the secret fortresses of fire giants to get such treasure, but fire giants are usually not welcoming to humanoids.
History DC 15: Fire giants are the most rigid among all true giants. But ironically, they are also the most tolerated towards different skills. You can't tell which is better between mechanical and magical ones, artistic and pratical ones or conservative and creation. So fire giants choose to accept them all and let their leader to judge which giant is more skillful and deserves higher place. One of the samples is the flare dancers, who have no talent in traditional crafts but combine artirism with martial art. They are still rewarded with high position in their society due to the encouragement and protection they provided.
History DC 20: Many legends tell about how ancient giants travel through realms and dimensions with the airships built by fire giants. Sadly, no evidence shows that mordern fire giants have the knowledge to build such miracle.
Nature DC 10: Fire giants can generate hot air beneath their feet to fly on low air. This is an important ability to avoid sinking into quicksand of their desert home.
Nature DC 15: Fire giants ordinarily make their settlements deep inside deserts or near volcano craters, both to facilitate certain religious ceremonies and to heat their great forges. They have a special kind of rune that can solidfy sand or soil into rocks they used to build their forge and fortress. These manufactural rocks turn into exciting orange if something is heated nearby. Many fire giants view this as a glory of their craftmanship.
Nature DC 20: True giants have a strange reproducing process. The remain of a true giant will turn into elemental mineral. When a member of their kind breathe their life force into such mineral, new members of them will slowly form within the mineral. This is one of the reasons why true giants are few and only live in limited environment.
Religion DC 15: Fire giants' duty according to the orderning is to craft items for all giants. Within fire giant society, craftmanship and mechanical expertise is considered a sure sign of moral rectitude. Even those of non-giant heritage can be afforded a degree of recognition and respect for particularly fine work, though few craftsmen among the smallfolk can match the standards of a fire giant.

Arcana DC 15: One of the knowledge storm giant inherited from the ancient giant empire is the ability to create crystal crown. This magic item allows the user to see directly into the future, which further powers the storm giant's prediction.
History DC 10: After the fallen of the giant empire, giant have forgotten most of their culture. Only storm giants keep most memory and eager to reunion true giants into a whole force. Storm giants believe that giants are just fallen into a temporary low ebb. All they need to do is to protect as much the ancient knowledge as possible to make the future giants rebuild their civilization easier.
History DC 15: Storm giants are the only kind of true giant who don't care about their place in the orderning. Only when two storm giants find different omens will they check each other's research and judge who belongs to a higher position. Such judgement usually lasts for monthes. Sometimes storm giants will hire adventurers to check the phenomenon and brings some evidence back. Although storm giants usually give rich rewards collected from the whole giant society to the adventurers, such tasks can be very dangerous due to the extrem environment the andventurer are sent into and the possible monsters on the path.
History DC 20: Good storm giants view the pride and ignorance towards other folks as one of the reasons that giant empire fallen.

Nature DC 10: Storm giants all possess an innate talent for analyzing the condition around them, able to detect and interpret connections between seemingly unrelated things to predict the near future. As powerful as this skill is, however, storm giants are known to overrely on it, leaving them unprepared to deal with rapid, impulsive action.
Nature DC 15: Although being apathic outside, storm giants acctually enjoy meeting with each other and other true giants. To protect their privacy or the safety of smaller folks, such visit only occurs in the edge of the mortal world (usually the extrem environment that giants call home or conflexes linked to the inner planes). This makes many people misunderstand storm giants and view them as living sacred ones who have no emotion.
Nature DC 20: True giants have a strange reproducing process. The remain of a true giant will turn into elemental mineral. When a member of their kind breathe their life force into such mineral, new members of them will slowly form within the mineral.

Copy-paste the entire contents of the spoiler. That should let you get the formatting without the Quote tags.

Now, looking at the giants themselves... I'm not gonna go over the nitty-gritty numbers for now, but I do have a question!
Immutable Form... What do you mean by "Existence" in this context?

Copy-paste the entire contents of the spoiler. That should let you get the formatting without the Quote tags.

Now, looking at the giants themselves... I'm not gonna go over the nitty-gritty numbers for now, but I do have a question!
Immutable Form... What do you mean by "Existence" in this context?

Thanks for your advice on format. I'm really not familiar with this system.
Now talk about your question. Some effects like banishment will alter the "Existance" of the target. In Baldur Gate Ⅲ, monsters with Immutable Form (such as flesh golem) have resistance or immunity to such effect while the original MM doesn't emphasize it. Since these giant monsters are somehow similiar to golems due to their reproducing process, it is reasonable that they have such immunity.
After all, thanks for the visit.
