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

Product Information

Instead, he’s been reincarnated as a gnome after being crushed by a giant (something which will be covered in greater detail in the book). In Glory of the Giants we learn that he has been killed and reincarnated as a gnome (because when he died they only had a druid handy, not a cleric), and has developed a bit of a fascination with giants that tends to make his comments a bit fawning. As part of the launch of Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants, Wizkids has released a new miniature lineup inspired by the book. 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.

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. Chapter 5: Giant Treasures: This chapter details 30 unique magic items inspired by the world of giants, including three new artifacts, one of which is associated with the giant god Annam, one of which is associated with Diancastra and Bigby’s Beneficent Bracelet. Explore the wondrous realms of giants with this supplement for the world's greatest roleplaying game. Adds giant-themed player character options where adventurers can evoke the glory of giants with new subclasses, backgrounds and feats.Stone Giants: Reclusive being who prefer to hide in the wilderness and are surprisingly gentle unless provoked. Bigby, who is originally from the world of Greyhawk, is best known for his eponymous ‘hand’ spells, which in 5E are condensed into a single Bigby’s Hand spell with several modes (forceful hand, grasping hand, interposing hand, clenched fist). Discerning players can gain a lot from balancing the expenditure of spell slots and these invocations as long as they properly understand the risk of cutting off access to any specific spell. As you might guess from the length, these enclaves are presented as sources of ideas, rather than complete encounters. Each of these runes is associated with spells that have already been introduced in DnD 5e — the Death rune allows players to cast inflict wounds, for example, while the Fire rune gives spellcasters the power of burning hands.

No matter what angle is taken to integrate the new DnD character options, the additions add a solid amount of flavor and potential to any build.

The Rune Shaper feat offers a couple of multifaceted advantages, coming in the form of comprehend languages and Rune Magic. Notably, some of these elements were previously released and playtested in the “ Giant Options” Unearthed Arcana.

As noted previously, in May 2022, Wizards of the Coast also released the “Giant Options” Unearthed Arcana article, which introduced the giant subclass to 5th edition.
