#OpenDND free content #1: Acid and deep giants

First up, my two new giant types, originally intended for a new Alternate Ecology supplement.

The Acid Giant is a giant elementally aligned with earth. Their skin is a nearly glowing eldritch green, with black hair and eyes. They most often wield flails with hollow heads filled with their own acidic saliva. They can also spit globs of the stuff into their hands and throw it like other giants throw stones. Residing deep in the Underdark, they hate other giants nearly as much as they hate 'lesser' races, and often take other creatures as slaves...even from races that normally are the slavemasters themselves, like drow and duergar.

The Deep Giant is also earth aligned, and wields darkness as a weapon. Able to see even in magical darkness, they have quite an advantage in the lands below. More capable miners than even their stone giant cousins, deep giants are smaller, only a little bigger than an ogre. But this belies their strength and toughness. Their compact musculature makes them resistant to bludgeoning damage, which is quite useful in cave-ins, falls, and fights. They often live at the periphery of acid giant settlements, expanding them but never accepting the authority of their larger kin.
