Wild hinoxes are brutal but lazy giants that spend most of their time sleeping, though they have a strange fascination with weapons sized for humanoids, often wearing necklaces strung with such trinkets. Canny adventurers know that if they need to replace their damaged weapons, they can steal them from a sleeping hinox, though they must take great care when doing so. When woken, a hinox is capable of ripping an entire tree out of the ground and swinging it like a massive club, which has led to the death of many would-be thieves who weren't as sneaky as they thought they were. Some hinoxes wear greaves made from wood or metal to better protect themselves from smaller opponents. |
Variant: Wooden Greaves[edit]
This variant of Wild Hinox wears one or two greaves of wood on its legs, each greave increases Wild Hinox's AC by 1. A Wild Hinox wearing one greave has half cover against Melee attacks from medium or smaller creatures from the front that are on the same elevation as the Wild Hinox while a Wild Hinox wearing two greaves has three--quarters cover under the same circumstances. Each Greave may be targeted with a called shot to damage its pool of 50 HP. Greaves are immune to psychic and poison damage and vulnerable to fire damage.
This variant has a Challenge Rating of 7 (2,900 XP) for one wooden greave and 8 (3,900 XP)
