2-20 HP of damage. They can catch like missiles 40% of the time. <Grenade-Like Missiles: Boulders>

Impervious to Cold: Frost giants are impervious to cold, even white dragon breath.

Lair: Frost giants more commonly inhabit castles, although they often lair in
large frigid caverns. 



There is a 50% probability that they will have from 1-6
winter wolves in their lair as watchdogs. 



If more than 4 frost giants are
encountered in their lair numbers 5 and 6 will be females (treat as stone
giants with respect to hit dice and damage/attack), and 7 and 8 will be
young giants (roll percentile dice to determine size).

sort.
