Revenge of the giants 4e pdf

However, it's less heavy-handed than similar tropes from the 2e era: a villain just teleports away if he gets too hurt. Adventure Tropes: The Encounters. Like most of the adventures in the 4e era, Revenge of the Giant is built from tightly scripted encounters that result in a very combat-heavy campaign. However, there are a few advancements in the core style of this adventure.

First, the adventure is less linear because the players have about a half-dozen different paths they can take; certainly, they'll probably go down all these routes and undertake all these side quests eventually, but letting them decide the order maintains agency in a way that the early 4e adventures didn't.

Second, the adventure makes strong use of skill challenges. However, these encounters take a somewhat unusual form: they involve the players all making rolls against a specific skill in each round, and being graded on whether they succeed or fail as a group. This in turn takes away some of the agency of the adventure, turning the skill challenges into set die-rolling exercises.

Adventures Tropes: Time Travel. Revenge of the Giants includes a bit of time travel, as the characters journey into the past in search of a macguffin. It's a nice opportunity to meet a legendary character, but otherwise it's dealt with like any other part of the adventure. Exploring the Points of Light. Revenge of the Giant is obviously set in the default Points of Light world, as it references backstory elements of the setting such as Nerath and Bael Turath.

That means the abandoned city of Argent and all its backstory should fit right into the Points of Light world. The question is … where.

As was so often the case with the 4e books, this adventure contains a vivid setting, but doesn't provide any hints for how to connect it up to the other vivid settings of the era. Fortunately, the novel The Mark of Nerath would provide a strong clue, revealing that Argent lies near Nenlast, which puts it just off the Nentir Valley map, near the east end of Lake Nen.

Exploring the World Axis. Monsters of Note. Obviously giants are the heart of this adventure, and that includes titans. There are plenty of earth giants including hill giants , fire giants , and frost giants , in a variety of types, showing off one of the strengths of 4e.

Revenge of the Giants also introduces a new sort of giant, the astral giant , who could possibly be friendly. NPCs of Note. It occurs during the characters' journey to the past, and Acererak isn't even a lich yet! He's just a mage who likes to build models of trap-filled vaults. The characters can fight Acererak and even kill him, but if they do, they just start him on his "path to ultimate evil and darkness". The other NPC of particular note is Piranoth , the primordial who is the giant's big macguffin, but he doesn't reappear in any other books, except on the master primordial list in Heroes of the Elemental Chaos About the Creators.
