Low-Light Vision

The monster can see in dim light as though it were bright light, so it ignores the Concealed condition due to dim light.

Scent (Imprecise) 30 feet

Scent involves sensing creatures or objects by smell, and is usually a vague sense. The range is listed in the ability, and it functions only if the creature or object being detected emits an aroma (for instance, incorporeal creatures usually do not exude an aroma).

If a creature emits a heavy aroma or is upwind, the GM can double or even triple the range of scent abilities used to detect that creature, and the GM can reduce the range if a creature is downwind.

At-Will Spells

The monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.

Attack of Opportunity

Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.

---

Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

Catch Rock

Requirements The monster must have a free hand but can Release anything it's holding as part of this reaction.

Trigger The monster is targeted with a thrown rock Strike or a rock would fall on the monster.

---

Effect The monster gains a +4 circumstance bonus to its AC against the triggering attack or to any defense against the falling rock. If the attack misses or the monster successfully defends against the falling rock, the monster catches the rock, takes no damage, and is now holding the rock

Throw Rock

The monster picks up a rock within reach or retrieves a stowed rock and throws it, making a ranged Strike.

Wind Strike (air, evocation, primal)

The cloud giant Strikes a creature with its ranseur, surrounded in a roar of rushing air. On a hit, the target takes an additional 4d8 bludgeoning damage and is Deafened for 1 minute. Whether or not the Strike hits, each non-cloud giant within a 20-foot emanation, including the target of the Strike, is buffeted by roaring winds and must attempt a DC 30 fortitude saving throw.

---

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature takes 2d8 sonic damage.

Failure The creature takes 4d8 sonic damage and is Deafened until the end of its next turn.

Critical Failure As failure, but double damage and also knocked Prone.

The graceful and regal cloud giants have skin of milky white to powdery blue. Unlike most giants, cloud giants are quite morally diverse. A handful are neutral, but of the others, roughly half are good, while the other half are evil. Good cloud giants are often civic-minded builders of roads and settlements, and are interested in trading goods as well as cultural innovations. It's not uncommon for such giants to approach their neighbors with diplomacy and build strong relationships with other peaceful peoples. Conversely, evil cloud giants are often isolationist and xenophobic. Preferring hidden mountain valleys and settlements in the caves and among the crags of lonely peaks, they raid for what they want and treat other creatures like inconsequential insects. These opposing philosophies can generate a great deal of strife among neighboring cloud giant communities, and the raiders often threaten the trade deals of their peaceful cousins.

Legends persist of floating cities ruled by magically gifted cloud giant queens and kings. While most cloud giants plainly state that such claims are pure fantasy, others are mysteriously tight-lipped or evasive about the matter.

Giants are massive humanoid creatures who live in remote regions throughout the world. They are divided into a number of subtypes.
