Should Giants / Titans ever be naked?


Off-Topic Discussions


hi nakedfinders,

I was taking a look at some Colossus of Roads doodles last night and noticed one where the guy had his weiner hanging out. This made me realize that I've never fought a naked giant/titan. I'm not sure if it would affect game play or not: "You see a 50 foot man walking towards you with a spear. His weiner is hanging out".

I almost think my characters would run away from that. On the other hand it does make the big guy seem a little scarier... naked.

opinions?

They should. Though they'd need high natural armor to pull it off.

Hell, the Celts could send Roman legions running just by fighting in the nude, screaming a lot, and not dying. They were mistaken for gods multiple times.

They should not. One of the bonuses of fighting giants is to be able to use their loincloths as tents.

Screaming, naked fighters are effective in their own way.

Lilith, prepare to see this line in my game. Verbatim.

...You know, I have a number of responses to this, but they are all not PG-13. However, I think my rogue needs to stock up on ranged weapons. :P


Sunder!


i guess we need to ask if he could use it as a weapon? people here are talking about cutting it off...

It's called a grapple followed by an unarmed attack. Also, the next giant to fight my PCs will be naked.

MONK TITANS FTW!

Pankration wrestling comes to mind, bringing with it inevitable shudders.


So I'm guessing that the loser of a pankration match might have more than one reason to regret losing ... O.o


I've heard tell that among the various ways to win a match, one of them is a p-word, and that word isn't "pinfall." I can't confirm this, but then I also can't get enough bleach to scrub the image from my mind's eye...more so now that there's a titan involved.


Images of my monk using a giant's sac as a punching bag for his flurry of blows will now never leave my mind.


I suppose just for the sake of clarity, I should mention my previous post is about ancient pankration wrestling, not modern.

Heroic nudity was an attribute of gods and demigods, so, yes, the Romans thought of their gods as being in limited attire. Titans are god-like and traditionally naked.

Yes, but were they into manscaping?

Shadow Lodge

No, they should not. They are never-nudes. Stork-shaped rocs deliver baby giants/titans to their parents.

well, charisma is tied to appareance, and titans have charisma in the 20s...

I just hope it's not a hill giant or something. No one wants to see that.


Another hill giant might want to see that. Or maybe an ogre...

now that is an image that even undead shudder at hill giant and an ogre in "full passion"

Replace "ogre" with "ettin" and I'd be all over it.

hill giant and an ettin in "full passion" then


juju zombie giants naked would be even more disturbing.

I'm disappointed in all of you.

Wait, that's not my line...


Hell, that ain't no smurf.

Especially since the feat "Black Lore of Moil" was not released as OGL content.

(Most unfortunately named feat ever...but it would be appropriate in this circumstance if acted like you'd expect.)
