Template:Giant vitals/doc

This template is used after any statement of giant weights and/or heights in an article. This wiki follows the policy that Forgotten Realms sources take priority over core sources when determining giant heights. The matter of weight, however, is more complicated, because some of the published values for the weights of giants are physically absurd. As is clear from basic geometry and physics, as an object is doubled in size, its change in mass is multiplied eightfold, but this seems to have been taken into account in some sources yet not in others.

This wiki as a sub-template for each of the races of giant for which the sourcebooks present varying heights/weights.

Usage
Select the appropriate sub-template:
 * Add the template directly after the name statement about the giant's "vital statistics", usually under the Description heading.
 * Giant vitals/Hill giant
 * Giant vitals/Fire giant
 * Giant vitals/Stone giant
 * Giant vitals/Frost giant
 * Giant vitals/Cloud giant
 * Giant vitals/Storm giant
 * Add
 * ===Notes===
