 *Stone giants can deal up to 65 damage per turn (before [[GDR]]), every turn, at range. If a stone giant is camping the entrance to Orc, consider skipping the branch for a while.
-*Like many other ranged monsters, stone giants stop throwing large rocks once in melee with the player. Their melee isn't ''weak'', but getting hit by large rocks hurt more than their melee attacks.

 *Stone giants don't have any resistances to speak of, and they cannot see [[invisible]]. [[Curare]] slows them down, while [[repulsion]] helps defend against large rocks.
 **Despite their name and appearance, stone giants are not vulnerable to [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]].

-'''Stone giants''' are massive, powerful humanoids who hurl [[large rock]]s at their opponents when at range, then move into melee to smash whatever's left. They hit hard and can take a decent amount of abuse, but have no resistances or defenses to speak of. They can be found throughout [[the Vaults]] and [[the Depths]], as well as occasionally in the lower levels of [[the Dungeon]] and the [[Orcish Mines]].

-*They can hit hard enough in melee that you may not want to let them get too close, but they can also deal heavy damage at range with their large rocks.Some form of [[Repel Missiles#Player sources|Repel Missiles]] and/or a source of [[invisibility]] will help make those few shots much easier to avoid.

-*Though their look and name might suggest it, they are not vulnerable to [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]], and they have enough [[AC]] to blunt most of the impact of the shrapnel.

 ==History==
-*Prior to [[0.27]], stone giants would start with only a few large rocks; once they've been tossed, they'd be just like any melee enemy.
+*Prior to [[0.27]], stone giants (like all monsters) threw large rocks slowly. They'd also start with a limited number of rocks; once they've been tossed, they'd be just like any melee enemy.
