Bigby Presents: Glory of Giants (Dungeons & Dragons Expansion Book)

Product Information

Discerning players can gain a lot from balancing the expenditure of spell slots and these invocations as long as they properly understand the risk of cutting off access to any specific spell.

Dungeon Masters will gain inspiration for bringing giants to life, from maps of giant-built sites and big new monsters to tremendous treasures and intriguing trinkets in a giant's bag!There is something for players, but it’s not much – a few backgrounds (giant foundling, rune carver) and one subclass (the barbarian’s Path of the Giant). The book offers advice on how to connect a character using any of these options to the lore of the giants, whether to draw a direct line of ancestry, draw power from an artifact, or worship the gods of the giants. Adds giant-themed player character options where adventurers can evoke the glory of giants with new subclasses, backgrounds and feats.

As you might guess from the length, these enclaves are presented as sources of ideas, rather than complete encounters. Delves into unrevealed giant lore, including an overview of the hierarchical structure of the ordning and giants’ religion, and ideas about giants’ organizations and societies across the multiverse. A character with the Giant Foundling background grew up among giants and leeched some power from their environment, while a Rune Carver learned Rune Magic through diligent work.Eventually Gygax folded Bigby into the larger Greyhawk lore, making him a founding member of the Circle of Eight, a group of powerful archmages dedicated to safeguarding the inhabitants of the world of Oerth. The principal shared features of the two Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants subclasses are the knowledge of the Giant language and the ability to tap into the magic of the giants, although the latter feature presents itself in very different forms. As part of the launch of Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants, Wizkids has released a new miniature lineup inspired by the book. This could be used to safely move allies or reposition enemies, with the possibility to deal damage by tossing a foe onto a space that doesn't support them. The standard cover and alt cover version of the new sourcebook What is Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants about?

In Glory of the Giants we learn that he has been killed and reincarnated as a gnome (because when he died they only had a druid handy, not a cleric), and has developed a bit of a fascination with giants that tends to make his comments a bit fawning.Earning enough XP can infuse the weapons that raging Path of the Giant barbarians use with extra power and eventually increase their size to Huge if they so choose. Chapter 3: Giant Adventures: This section will offer a variety of options and advice for DMs when it comes to running giant-themed encounters, adventures and DnD 5e campaigns. That book provided players and DMs with an in-depth view of all-things related to dragons, including a number of new races, spells, magic items and adventure ideas.
