When a giant strength potion is consumed
the individual
gains great strength and bonuses to damage
when he or she scores a hit
with any hand-held or thrown weapon.
It is also possible for the person to
hurl rocks as shown on the table below.
Note that the type of giant strength
gained by drinking the potion is randomly
determined on the same table:
<
| Die Score | Strength Equivalent | Description | Weight Allow. | Damage Bonus | Range | Base Damage | Bend Bars/
Lift Gates |
XP Value | GP Value |

giant ( ) |
Tan, vaporous, ribboned, earthy | + 450 | +7 | 8" | 1-6 | 50% | 500 | 900 |
| 7-10 | stone giant ( ) |

Compare these abilities to the character

strength.
The potion can be used only by fighters.
Note this does not give the same powers
as a girdle.

Hey Gary,
Hope your health is getting better.
Had a couple of 1equestions, if you dont mind.
I noticed that a potion of
Giant Str states that it only grants the bonus on damage.
While a Girdle gives you bonus on damage and to hit.
I guess it doesnt make sense to me that a potion that gives you giant str,
does not function the same way as a Girdle.
Is this just a misunderstanding?
Not at all. thje potion
is a weav thing, the girdle a potent item far more difficult to enchant.
