''Giants appear like extremely overgrown [[Humans |humans]], yet as their great [[Strength |strength]] is evident to the naked eye, so is their lack of [[Intelligence |wit]] and [[Wisdom |wisdom]].  They are Incredibly [[Strength |strong]] and [[Constitution |hardy]], more so than most any other [[:Category: Races |race]]; yet are also probably the [[Intelligence |dumbest]].  They are usually shunned by other [[:Category: Races |races]], but many people prefer to follow a giant into combat. While excelling in combat, Giants almost never develop a very good capacity to use magic.''

== Diplomatic Corps ==
 
 
 
Giants may participate in the Diplomatic Corps every 10 levels at lowmort. All Giants should report to [[Nhug|Nhug]] when they are ready to begin.
 
 
 
== Comments ==
 
 
 
Giants get an enormous amount of HP, more than any other race, remort or creatable. This makes them absurdly big regardless of class. However, their dexterity (and thus dodging) is poor and they lack natural armor, so in combat they tend to lose the HP at a faster pace. Due to this flaw they make exceptional berserkers (berserkers are highly resistant to damage).
 
 
 
Giants also have a racial damage modifier and considerable strength, so they make excellent warriors and other brute classes.
 
 
 
Their powerswing ability makes them very proficient with two-handed weapons, allowing them to deal more damage than races without it - thus paladins are also a possible career (paladins use two-handed swords).
 
 
 
Giant stealth is bad, archery as well, and casting ability is poor.
 
 
 
== Elemental Giants ==
 
 
 
 
 
The Elemental Giants are subgroups of the Giant race that have somehow
 
been imbued with Elemental magic.  This Elemental nature that permeates
 
their being gives these Giants access to a variety of unique abilities.
 
It also allows Elemental Giants to cast more spells before resting than
 
ordinary Giants.
 
 
 
Despite their distinct nature, Elemental Giants share many similarities
 
with their more common cousins.  All Giants are massive creatures that
 
are incredibly strong and extremely hardy.  They all have a fondness of
 
eating corpses and they all excel at using two-handed weapons.
 
 
 
Like ordinary Giants, Elemental Giants are, generally speaking, atrocious
 
spell-casters.  However, their Elemental nature allows them to fare better
 
than normal with certain specific types of magic.  This magical affinity
 
means that Elemental Giants will have better success when casting certain
 
types of spells, and they will expend less magical energy while doing so.
 
 
 
There is an important distinction between Elemental Giants and true
 
Elementals.  True Elementals are entirely composed of their corresponding
 
element, be it Fire, Air, Earth, or Water.  Elemental Giants remain beings
 
of flesh and blood.
 
 
 
Giants are eligible to become Elemental Giants at Lord Level 25.
 
The following races are available along with their corresponding element:
 
 
 
[[Fire Giants]] - Fire
 
 
 
[[Cloud Giants]] - Air
 
 
 
[[Stone Giants]] - Earth
 
 
 
[[Frost Giants]] - Water
