Commentary & Description
Although these giants are around 10-12' tall, they are broad and muscular as dwarves, so they resemble exaggerated versions of the latter. They are subterranean in habitat, love minerals, and dislike the exotic (anything outside their particular sphere). Very Superior physically, but of average intellect at best, Stone giants have only Limited to Moderate Heka powers (usage of up to 1900 Heka points).
Stone giants are able to throw boulders (Rate of Fire: 1 per CT) with the following range guidelines:
PB: 10 yards, Short: 20, Med.: 40, Long: 60, Extreme: 80
