      I've got this really weird, wildly unfounded theory that the Peach Farmers in Honeywood are in league with the Bonecaller if not the Bonecaller outright. They have lots of children and no livestock, the wife has never been pregnant, and one of the quests that Greg gives out is literally confronting the Bonecaller near Honeywood.

    I don’t think anyone can truly understand Rowans absolute brilliance to his character in just avoiding death by jumping off an airship, then almost probably killing his entire party by drinking necrotic blood and becoming an unstoppable killing machine, and goes right into wanting to eat a magic bean by convincing himself it will give him exactly 5 health with no science to back it up. It is amazing and wonderful and I love all of it.

    @23:40 To be kind to Baradun, I didn't initially believe her to be a giant. Gods can freely change their size depending on their sailent abilities in 3.5e. There's also spells for increasing sizes and if you enjoy various anime, humanoid forms of elementals might resemble what you described (and it'd be assumed they could change size, and the higher order ones might be larger, etc.). Giants aren't the only giant humanoid races either.
