Multiattack. The giant makes two attacks, using Thunderous Mace or Thundercloud in any combination. It can replace one attack with a use of Spellcasting to cast Fog Cloud.
Thunderous Mace. Melee Attack Roll: +12, reach 10 ft. Hit: 21 (3d8 + 8) Bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) Thunder damage.
Thundercloud. Ranged Attack Roll: +12, range 240 ft. Hit: 18 (3d6 + 8) Thunder damage, and the target has the Incapacitated condition until the end of its next turn.
Spellcasting. The giant casts one of the following spells, requiring no Material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 15):
At Will: Detect Magic, Fog Cloud, Light
1/Day Each: Control Weather, Gaseous Form, Telekinesis
Misty Step. The giant casts the Misty Step spell, using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting.
Thundercloud being auto incapacitated condition is crazy. Fine with a save...crazy just auto.
I gotta say, That Cloud Giantess is hot
Never anger a cloud giant. I pity any party that has to fight a flying tank that can blast them with a thundercloud from over 200 feet away. That's out or range for almost all spells and requires rolling at disadvantage for even the longest range weapons.
On the positive side, this is one case where a ranged martial character with sharpshooter or those crazy eldritch blast sniper builds come in handy.
Like the new artwork as much as the old one.
Got 4 initiative and can hover now which is a nice feature. Lost his CHA save.
Perception increased by 4.
Has infinite misty steps now and can attack two time with ranged attacks. Love that its now a fitting attack and not just a giant throwing rocks. Dmg got lowered by 12 but having two of them, dmg type changed to thunder AND incapacitating someone is very strong. Mace deals 7 thunder dmg more too
Overall way stronger now and a real threat
I still don't get why cloud giants have fangs.
WHYYYY?
but their not cool like frost giants
Just make the incapacitated a dc 15 con save and we are good to go. For the rest, love this statblock.
cus it looks cool
Because the original art looks like they had fangs, when in reality they were lip piercings. I guess the people writing the new manual were confused too.
