Special abilities

The hill giant is an enormous hulk up to ten metres tall, with skin the colour of rock. It mostly lives as a loner in caves high in the mountains, but sometimes hill giants join forces and take over an entire mountain range. It eats everything it catches, from mountain animals to humans and dwarves.

The saying “the bigger, the stronger and the dumber” applies to it: it is certainly no thinker, its vocabulary numbers a few dozen words and it cannot even light a fire, so it eats its meat raw. It need not be evil and it can be reasoned with – but the way to its favour usually leads through its stomach.

Combat

The hill giant easily wields a heavy club in one hand, and in the other it carries a boulder, which it hurls at its victims or catches them with. The saying “the bigger the blow, the better” applies to it. It can easily stomp on smaller opponents.
