Alignment
Why are there no alignments? Othya (talk) 17:57, January 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I would have to say all alignments but really to find a true alignment find what type you trying to find and their page should have their alignment, the range of giants is not tied down to a range there are evil and good there are lawful and chaotic and there are even some giants who are true neutral. Find the type and go to their page.(Iknow there are a lot of reds which I hate ill try to fill them out soon.) Pharuan Undearth (talk) 22:49, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Titan, True Giant, and Giant-Kin Hierarchy
How are the giants ranked based on how powerful they are?

1. Titans There are 7 subspecies of titans (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Titan#Subspecies). How are they arranged from most to least powerful?

2. True Giants There are 9 subspecies of true giants (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Giant#True_giants) if mountain and fog giants are included. How are they arranged from most to least powerful?

3. Giant-Kin There are 6 subspecies of giant-kin (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Giant#Giant-kin) if ogres and trolls are included. How are they arranged from most to least powerful?

 * Thanks for the quick reply.
 * Are mountain giants really more challenging than titans?

 * That's the only one for which I don't have the sourcebook myself, so I cannot double check. I agree that it seems odd. I got the CR from the entry for them on this wiki. ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:38, August 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * The Monster Manual II 3rd edition also has a few types of giants not listed above. The names and challenge ratings are: Forest giant (11), Sun giant (12), Ocean giant (19), and Mountain giant (26). &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 18:05, August 15, 2015 (UTC)
