Legendary Actions

The giant can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The giant regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

1. Frosty Slam. The giant makes one Icy Slam attack.
2. Icy Bellow (Costs 2 Actions). The giant releases a chilling roar. Creatures within 30 feet must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute.
3. Chill Aura (Costs 3 Actions). The giant’s presence chills the air around it. Creatures within 20 feet must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) cold damage and have their speed halved for 1 minute.

A hulking monstrosity lumbers towards you. It appears as a larger frost giant, only more barbaric. It wears little and is covered in many spikes of ice. In its hands it grips a giant maul covered in ice.

On this Thread

The Jotunheim Frost Giants are the bigger and meaner cousins of the frost giants. They prides themselves in being the direct descendents of the Primordial ice giant, Ymir. They look upon frost giants as giants who have fallen far from the pureblood stock of “true” frost giants. Jotun often rule the frost giants, but only after defeating the ruling Jarl. Most of the time they succeed.

Jotunheim Frost Giant stand 18 ft tall and weigh 6 tons. They speak Common and Giant.

Combat

Jotunheim Frost Giants love making good use of their breath weapons at the start of the battle. As the numbers of enemies begin to fall, it will rely more on its melee attacks and freezing grasp to deal with the remaining creatures.

Breath Weapon (Su): Ever 1d6 rounds, the jotun can spew forth an 80 ft. cone of icy coldness from its mouth dealing 10d10 cold damage. Reflex save DC 29 halves. DC is Constitution-based.

Cold Aura (Su): TheJotunheim Frost Giant is constantly surrounded is freezing winds. Any creature within 30 ft. of the jotun, takes 6d6 cold damage each round they are in the aura. Fortitude save DC 29 halves damage. The jotun can shut off (or turn back on) the aura as a free action. DC is Charisma– based.

Freezing Grasp (Su): The jotun’s grasp is freezing cold. The grappled creature takes 5d6 cold damage and must make a Fortitude save DC 33 or take an additional 2d6 Dexterity damage. If their Dexterity score reaches 0, the creature is frozen. At which point, the jotun can make an attack against the frozen creature to shatter it.

Improved Grab (Ex): When then jotun attacks successfully with its slam attack, it can grapple if successful, it establishes a hold and can use its Freezing Grasp ability (see above).

Rock Throwing (Ex): The range increment is 200 ft. for a jotun’s thrown rocks.

Advanced Rock Catching (Ex): The jotun can catch Medium or smaller rocks without making a reflex save. It still must be ready and aware of the thrown rock. It must, however make a Reflex save DC 10 to catch large rocks. Again, it still must be ready and aware of the thrown rock.

Spiked Body (Ex): Creatures grappling with the jotun take 5d6 piercing damage and 3d6 cold damage
