Alignment: Chaotic evil
These two black-skinned giants are heavily armored and have greatswords across their backs; but in their hands are large boulders. They serve Fnogghi Chaos-Hand, a powerful fomorian giant cleric of Chaos (posted elsewhere in the Wiki), but a dm can easily use them on their own or with other villains.
Combat[]
These two vicious fire giant brothers, Andre and Pierre, love to surprise little folk with the power of their rocks. There really isn’t anything they like better than squishing those smaller than them. They serve Fnogghi faithfully and have been well-rewarded so far.
Knockdown Blow (Ex): As a full round action, one of the hurlers can launch a ranged attack that knocks any Medium or smaller creature that it deals damage to prone.
Ranged Power Attack (Ex): Against enemies within 30’, the hurlers can power attack with a ranged weapon (dealing 8d6 hp of damage- extrapolated from CW, pg. 159).
Really Throw Anything (Ex): The hurlers can throw anything up to 3200 lbs. If the item is an improvised weapon, the hurler takes a -2 instead of the usual -4 penalty. The range increment is 10’. Their masterwork rocks are about 500 lbs. each.
