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

Product Information

No matter what strikes the fancy of players or dungeon masters among the subclass, background, and feat options in Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants, the new sourcebook offers plenty of new ways to bring variety to the game table. You will find a look at their mythical history, but it’s about the giant all-father and his children and his disappointment with the giants and then the book pulls that material into how giant society functions and judges its members and their actions.

Perhaps the most fun feature that Path of the Giant barbarians can employ on the battlefield is Mighty Impel, which allows them to hurl smaller creatures to other spaces within range.Hill Giants: Arguably, the weakest and least intelligent giants, they can be quick to anger and often roam the wilds. It’s a fun book with a lot of cool lore and some exciting new character options, so we started by digging into the new backgrounds and feats. Rune Magic unlocks the knowledge of a number of runes equal to half of the character's proficiency bonus, which can be inscribed onto objects once per long rest to allow for spellcasting. So I think that Glory of the Giants has to rise or fall on its value to the DM, and on that front I think it succeeds more than I was anticipating.

Purchasing this bundle unlocks the Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants book in digital format in the game compendium with all the artwork and maps, cross-linking, and tooltips. Glory of the Giants leaves me wanting to break out some of those pretty giant-sized miniatures I’ve got sitting on my shelf and get them back into the game. Both of these options provide interesting magical potential and roleplaying opportunities alike, as characters with deep connections to giants are unlikely to encounter many people who share their experiences in most campaign settings. Adds giant-themed player character options where adventurers can evoke the glory of giants with new subclasses, backgrounds and feats. Adds giant-themed player character options where adventurers can evoke the glory of giants with 1 new barbarian subclass, explore the vast world of giants with 2 new backgrounds, and unlock 8 new feats to unleash runic magic and wield elemental power.The new DnD subclass added in Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants is designed for barbarians who want to tap into primal power. There’s also a lot of effort to expand on the giant’s larger cultural structure, pushing them towards something a bit more than being big plus one obsession per giant type. The 2024 Core Rulebooks provide new options for players and DMs along with updates and improvements to the classes, mechanics, items, and monsters of fifth edition. Following in footsteps of Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons is Bigby Presents Glory of the Giants, although I suppose that given their ancient rivalry the giants might prefer to think of themselves as making even bigger footsteps over the footsteps of the dragons.
