Smog Giant

Creature 7 (rare) — giant, humanoid

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Corrupting magical storms and the interference of unethical gear- smiths birthed the first of the so-called smog giants. These hot-tempered behemoths all originate from a clan of unfortunate hill giants which became so attuned to their strange environment they developed unique mutations and incredibly violent dispositions. For all their physical abnormalities, it's still fair to say the violent confrontations common along the Western Ravage are the true cause of smog giants' monstrous nature. S

Abilities

Attack of Opportunity — Attack Of Opportunity
Catch Rock — Catch Rock
Explosive Headbutt — The smog giant cracks their neck, triggering pockets of black powder at the base of their skull to impart additional power to their attack. The giant then attempts a headbutt Strike. This counts as two attacks when calculating the giant's attack penalty. If this Strike hits, it deals 2d10+8 bludgeoning damage and the creature struck must attempt a DC 25 Fortitude save. **Critical Success** The creature suffers no additional effect. **Success** The creature takes an additional 1d10 bludgeoning damage. **Failure** The creature takes an additional 2d10 bludgeoning damage and is knocked Prone if it's Large or smaller. **Critical Failure** As failure, but without a size limit.
Shrapnel — A smog giant has a dozen implanted knives, rocks, chunks of metal, spikes, and other adornments that they can fire from their body with great force to make ranged shrapnel Strikes. Once a smog giant has used all 12 shots, they must replace them one at a time using a 1-minute Interact activity.
