Stone giant

A stone giant was a type of giant.

Description
Adult stone giants averaged about 18 feet in height and weighed 1,700 pounds. Stone giants preferred to fight using ranged weapons such as boulders but if forced into melee they wielded gigantic stone clubs.

Abilities
Stone giants had an excellent sense of smell and had infravision to 200 feet (60 m). They spoke Jotunstein and Jotun. Stone giants were the longest living of the giants, despite their low position in the ordning.

Ecology
Stone giants preferred temperate mountain ranges as their habitat.

Society
Stone giant family bonds were less important than the bonds between a master and his pupil. The ordering of stone giant society was based upon an individual's artistic ability.

Subraces
A subrace of stone giants known as ash giants lived in the Black Ash Plain in eastern Faerûn. They were approximately the same size as stone giants. They had hairless grey skin and deep set black eyes and often smeared themselves with ash as camouflage. Some ash giants were shamans.
