HD Online Player (Jack The Giant Slayer Hindi Dubbed M)
Sofie Kovalcheck
This product is worth the money for the Titan Fighter archetype alone and I bought it for that reason. I was not disappointed. It fixes what the Titan Mauler barbarian archetype was supposed to do and finally lets you do what you probably wanted to do with that class, only to find out you couldn't. The catch is, this is a Fighter archetype not a Barbarian one, but just take a dip into a class that grants Rage if it means that much to you and problem solved.
Another great feature is having a handy reference guide to all the various giants published so far. Very good for a GM who doesn't want to waste time poring through Bestiaries to find just the giant he or she needs. Now you can find what you're after and where to find it easily.
What is really great about this book is that the size of looted equipment is mentioned.
It states, that wondrous items and rings mostly adjust to the wearers size, but arms and armor dont.
And there are spells and other solutions for this.
Also there are feats that enable you to fight with larger arms and very useful teamwork feats like the good ones from Dragon Slayers Handbook, but unlike the lame ones from Demon Hunters Handbook) against ALL creatures which are larger than you -
NOT ONLY AGAINST GIANTS!
A new Druid archtype that's exactly what everyone needed , a new way for Druids to stand head and shoulders over just about everyone else, but literally and steal the reach Cleric's thunder. A Fighter stepping on the Barbarian's toes. A two-page spread showing the OGL giants kind of like the 3.0 size categories. I'd almost say this might be the Giantslayer PG, but nope, that takes up the last few pages of the book (again!!!). Not sure what the deal is with the weapons? Are they reintroducing the old school weapons deal less damage against larger creatures rules? Printing error? I don't know, too much of this book just screams, well, something other than "giants/vs giants".
Two things did stand out though which where kind of cool. Skill tricks (and unlike that god-awful Tech Guide, doesn't require a Feat to be able to use what you already have), and they are not terrible either, and then there is the Rogue Archtype, which is just cool, (and I don't even like Rogues).
I honestly had very, very low expectations on this book and that is probably why it is a 4 and not a 3 star book. This book has lots of interesting items, nifty feats, traits, and two of my favorite archetypes in a long time (for base classes). The only thing I wish is that there had been 1 ACG archetype (either slayer or HUNTER) in the book. This has firmed my opinion that I can't ever put this subscription on hold. Every time I consider it, this happens.
Can't recall offhand if there is a giantslayer ranger archetype (in the vein of the 1E ranger) in Pathfinder or if I'm just thinking of the 3E and 2E versions of same, but if not, this would be a likely place for such an archetype to surface.
Eventually? Rise of the Runelords has giants galore.

So this and the Orcs book makes me wonder what the next story line is going to look like.
Wish I had this when we were running Rise of the Runelords. We had a shoanti ranger whose tribal name was "giant hunter" and he was focused on fighting giants: this would have been awesome! In general, I do appreciate the X Hunter Handbooks, but I feel like they always come a bit too late (using rules and archetypes from Undead Slayer's Handbook in Carrion Crown would also have been wonderful).
It could be that the Orcs of Belkzen companion ties in with the module line, and that the AP itself will be giant related. They did say they were going to go the traditional route, and what's more traditional than the Against the Giants series?Maybe it will deal with the Rune Giants deciding to take control of other giant tribes and try to wipe out humanity or something.
I wonder, what types of archetypes can we expect to see? Perhaps a better version of the Titan Mauler, that would be awesome I'd think. I'd love to have more information on spells, items, and giants in general. Don't get me wrong, I love giants revisited, especially that blurb about the Cyclops peoples and Rune Giants. I just wish there was more.
So if that new fighter archetype can wield oversized weapons, as in actually use a large Greatsword... are we going to see a fix to the Titan-Mauler archetype that makes it not suck. Because it's supposed to do that already.
At this point the FAQ on the titan mauler is pretty clear about what it can and can't do, and I wouldn't expect that to change. The titan fighter was designed to allow a specific build not available to other classes (and in many cases not available to them for a good reason), and I talked with members of the design team about it to make sure it was a fair and balanced archetype. I would't expect it to represent a trend in what can be done with oversized weapons.

I will be looking forward to seeing what options come out here for rangers. After all, Jack the Giant Killer is one of the inspirations for the class.
Really. Where did you hear that?

After I actually played one, it became my favorite and I still keep this as part of my understanding of the class.

the giantslayer players handbook actually is released in the same month as the first ap volume. It was only recently that the player companion line created a section for them in the volume a month or two prior. But the official players guide for giantslayer will still only be released as the first volume, February.

-Skeld Holy crap that seems fast! But since you offered, any info on that over-sized weapon fighter archetype would be wonderful. :) AUC.register('auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay'); AjaxBusy.register('masked', 'busy', 'auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay', null, null) Thor Odinson PFS Dec 5, 2014, 01:52 pm I'm going to be extremely irritated if this book doesn't contain some Warhammer Fighting Styles and a Dwarf (Not class specific) Archtype for slaying Giants with thrown hammers.
No, that's a barbarian archetype you're thinking of.And what the build is promising and what everyone else can do are very different. People want the ability to wield a Large greatsword, for example, which the existing rules don't allow for. The titan mauler barbarian can wield a Large longsword at a reduced penalty, but not anything that a character couldn't normally use.
The goliath druid gains special access to the enlarge person spell (with some restrictions and some advantages), has a specific choice of domains & subdomains if she goes that route, and must select a dinosaur or megafauna as a companion if she goes THAT route. Her wild shape is altered to add giant form, and her summon nature's ally lists has been expanded with additional dinos, giants, and megafauna.
