Giants

Cloud Giant Divine Trickster

The cloud giant divine trickster is a powerful cleric of Memnor,
the giant deity of control, deceit, and pride. It is a cunning cleric
that seeks to bring chaos and disorder to the Realms through
deception and manipulation. It enjoys orchestrating wars between
nations and factions and delights in bringing misery to everyone.
In combat, the cloud giant is very crafty and opportunistic and
often employs dirty tactics. Aside from its incredible strength
and potent divine magic, it can conjure an illusory image of itself
to mislead attackers. It also has the uncanny ability to copy and
recast most spells it has just observed from other spellcasters.
