Cloud Giant Smiling One Deconstruction

In this episode of 8-bit Monsters, Monster Deconstruction for D&D 5e, I deconstruct the Cloud Giant Smiling One. This particular giant is interesting as it's more of a caster/controller type rather than just being "smash all tiny creatures" type. The idea is that the giant "should" gain advantage somehow to increase their damage out put but it's not dependent for the printed CR value. Listen along and you'll see that even though you may want to gain advantage, it's not needed in order for the giant to stay at it's printed value.

New Episodes every 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of the month!

The idea of this podcast is to break monsters down into their bare components: DCR & OCR. These two values will allow us to see how strong they are and to see where D&D got the CR values from. I'm doing this because all too often, players skip right to level 3 to avoid the hell levels and possibly end up dead. Generally, each monster is a balancing act that isn't equal to the final value.
