Stone Giant's Rock Catching Vs Arrows


Rules Questions


Hey Guys, just a quick question.

I'm currently playing the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path, and in it there are Stone Giants. The Stone Giants have the following ability:

Rock Catching
The creature (which must be of at least Large size) can catch Small, Medium, or Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape). Once per round, a creature that would normally be hit by a rock can make a Reflex save to catch it as a free action. The DC is 15 for a Small rock, 20 for a Medium one, and 25 for a Large one. (If the projectile provides a magical bonus on attack rolls, the DC increases by that amount.) The creature must be aware of the attack in order to make a rock catching attempt.

Does this ability work like Snatch Arrows in that it would allow them to catch arrows as well as rocks?


No. A rock is big, round, blunt and fairly slow-moving. An an arrow is small, straight, sharp and very fast-moving. One of these is not like the other.
