Giant



Giants are humanoid-shaped creature, usually of great strength and size. All giants have low-light vision. As a group, they have no other special abilities or immunities. Dwarves as a race are experienced at fighting giants, so they are more adept in combat with them.

True Giants
There are six types of classic "true giant" races:
 * Cloud giant : A giant race that believes itself superior to all other giants, with the exception of storm giants.
 * Fire giant : A militaristic giant that looks somewhat like a huge dwarf.
 * Frost giant : A giant who lives in areas frozen year-round and participates in raids.
 * Hill giant : A selfish giant inhabiting hilly regions.
 * Stone giant : A shy giant that is nevertheless dangerous when aroused to anger.
 * Storm giant : A gentle giant that lives mainly on cloud islands.
