Way of the Giant

Whether it’s in your blood or in your training, the legacy of the giants is yours to bear. Monasteries dedicated to giants are typically located near settlements of giants hoping to learn their ways. The most strict go as far as to forbid their disciples from speaking any language other than Giant.

Level 3: Giant Heritage

When you reach 3rd level you can channel the ancient magic of the giants through your body. As a bonus action you can spend 1 ki point to take your giant form. While in this form, your size becomes Large if there is enough space to do so, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and you can cause your unarmed strikes to deal elemental damage of the type of the giant associated with your training. This form lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action.

Additionally, you can use your Strength modifier, rather than Dexterity, for all monk class features, not including skill checks and saving throws. You can also speak, read, and write Giant.

Strength of the Titans

Starting at 6th level your body is able to bear the crushing strength of giants. When you make a successful unarmed strike, you may attempt to grapple the target as part of the same action.

Additionally, thrown weapons, items, and grappled creatures are considered monk weapons for you. If you hit a creature with a grappled creature, the damage is split equally between them.

Colossal Vitality

At 11th level the life force of giants can keep you conscious for one last act. When you are knocked to 0 hit points you can use your reaction to immediately take an Action before falling unconscious. If you have already used your reaction, you can spend 1 ki point to take the Action.

Behemoth

At 17th level you have come as close to perfectly emulating a giant as possible. When you activate your giant form, you can spend an additional ki point to become Huge.
