ELDRITCH GIANT

ELDRITCH GIANTS
Standing at an average of twenty-five feet
tall, eldritch giants are immediately recognizable
as members of the giant species. They are
often bulky in form with purple-tinted skin, fair
red hair, and eyes which shift in colour between
hues of green and purple.
Arcane Mastery. Eldritch giants are obsessed with the
discovery of arcane knowledge. They spend their lives
in scholarly pursuits, attempting to unravel the magical
secrets of the ancient world. To what end is a question
only the giants themselves can answer. Their dedication,
however, is beyond reproach. Their bodies are covered in
arcane runes which invoke great power within the giants
and are the source of their innate arcane abilities.
Peaceful Magistocrats. Eldritch giants are fearsome
opponents. Their immense physical power is only further
augmented by their mastery over the arcane. In combat,
they will use magic to strip their enemies of arcane
enhancements. Then, when their foe is weakened, they
use dimension door to employ hit and run tactics, wearing
down the enemy. Only when they know victory is assured
do they move in for the killing blow. Thankfully, they often
don’t resort to violence as they consider it a distraction
from their studies. They have a general disdain for storm
giants due to some long forgotten slight, but they seldom
act on these feelings, seeing even their feud with their kin
as a mere secondary distraction.
