Star Giant[edit]
|
Huge giant, neutral Armor Class 18 (plate)
Saving Throws Str +16, Dex +10, Con +16, Int +11, Wis +12, Cha +12 FTL Flight. Outside a planet's atmosphere, the star giant can fly through space faster than light. Innate Spellcasting. The giant's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 22). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: detect magic, detect thoughts, daylight, telekinesis ACTIONSMultiattack. The giant makes three attacks with its longsword. Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d8 + 10) slashing damage or 26 (3d10 + 10) slashing damage if used with two hands. Laser Pistol. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 80/240 ft., one target. Hit: 35 (9d6 + 4) radiant damage. Star Strike (Recharge 5-6). The giant hurls a magical bolt of cosmic energy at a point it can see within 1 mile of it. Each creature within 10 feet of that point must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 100 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The bolt ignores resistance to radiant damage and it deals double damage against objects and structures. In space, the bolt has no maximum range.

The oldest and most powerful of the giants, star giants are extremely advanced both magically and technologically, preferring to dwell in the dark reaches of space away from "primitive" worlds or civilizations, which they find to be dreadfully boring. As a consequence, most scholars do not even believe they exist. Star giants are taller than other giants, scraping the height limit for Huge size, and they have eyes which glow like stars themselves, changing in color and intensity with their mental state. They are neither inherently benevolent or malevolent; instead, their default state is one of uncaring detachment, as they have no more thought or respect to creatures which are not their intellectual equals than humans do towards ants. As such, in the event that most creatures interact with a star giant, they will often find the giant's actions to be completely random or arbitrary, just as likely to help or hinder based off of their own unknowable logic. Star giants have huge vocal chords for attacking that can rumble creatures. They can talk to fireflies, commanding them to blind creatures. Star giants can descend from space at meteoric velocity, crashing into creatures and objects. They have power surge star power that erupts from their palms in a bolt of plasma. Star giants possess disproportionately large noses so they can absorb space dust for nutrients more effectively. They don tunics and prefer short pants. Due to the extreme cold of deep space, star giants' bodies generate much more heat than terrestrial giants, hence the short pants. Star giants carry satchels of star dust for use as healing salve. Each star giant is hopelessly in love with a particular star that twinkles at them, but can never achieve oneness due to the destructive nature and power of a star. Cosmic Nature. A star giant doesn't require air and is immune to the effects of the vacuum of space. |
