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.
