Fire, Ice and Storm Giants!

Fire, Ice and Storm GIANTS! adds three new giants to Skyrim, which you can encounter at each giant camp. The new elemental giants have the behavior of giants and the magic attacks and visuals of Flame, Frost, or Storm Atronachs. If your character is strong enough to slay a giant or two without breaking a sweat, this mod will make hunting them a challenge, again! But don't wait to subscribe. You may subscribe now, and fight the giants later.

Please consider rating this mod if you like it. It's the second in the series Project A.W.E. (Additional World Encounters). If it gets a few stars, I might devote time to add quests, or make the new enchanted giant clubs playable. I might also add the ability to make new armor out of the giant skulls.

If you like this mod, you might also enjoy Fire, Ice and Storm Trolls!, which is fully compatible. The mod Dragons, Giants, Mammoths and Trolls Drop Skulls is also compatible. No DLC is required.

=============
1. Description
=============

So I once played a character above level 40 who made it his life's goal to slay every giant in Skyrim. I was disappointed to find how easy the giants had become to kill. The first giant I took on at a lower level sent me flying into the clouds with the first swing of his club. Now I could survive several such attacks, and it was nothing to bring a giant down with just a few strikes of my own. If only there was a way to make them a challenge once again (sigh). Well, now there is!

This mod is not for the low-level milk drinker. It's for the veteran who wants the challenge of fighting giants who are on magicka steroids. But they are not ridiculously overpowered. They're giants with the added magic attacks and protective cloaks of atronachs. Slaying them made for some epic battles for me. I hope you have fun battling them, too!

===================================
2. Features of the New Elemental Giants
===================================

Fire Giants

* Appearance - Giant with redish skin and the visual effects of Flame Atronachs. (They essentially look like Giants who are on fire!)

* Defensive Abilities - Combines the health of a giant with the Flame Cloak of a Flame Atronach. Any targets in melee range receive fire damage per second, and take additional damage while on fire. 100% resistant to fire but weak to frost.

* Offensive Abilities - Melee attacks of giants, plus the additional fire damage of Flame Atronach melee attacks. Giant club with a fire enchantment.

* Locations - randomly spawn at any giant camp. May be alone, or have a normal giant, or mammoths, or both with it.

* Death Items - Besides two giant toes, you can also loot two Fire Salts and a Fire Giant Skull from each one you kill.


Ice Giants

* Appearance - Giant with bluish skin and the visual effects of Frost Atronachs. (You can distinguish them from Frost Trolls by their frosty glow, which may be seen even from a distance.)

* Defensive Abilities - Combines the health of a giant and Frost Cloak of a Frost Atronach. Any targets in melee range receive frost damage every second to health and stamina and are slowed. Resistant to frost but weak to fire.

* Offensive Abilities - Melee attacks of giants, plus the additional frost damage of Frost Atronach melee attacks. Giant club with the Chilrend enchantment.

* Locations - randomly spawn at any giant camp. May be alone, or have a normal giant, or mammoths, or both with it.

* Death Items - Two giant toes, two Frost Salts and an Ice Giant Skull.


Storm Giants

* Appearance - Giant with bluish skin and the visual effects of Storm Atronachs and ghosts. (It's an errie electric giant!)

* Defensive Abilities - Combines the health of a giant with the Shock Cloak of a Storm Atronach. Any targets in range receive shock damage every second to health and magicka. Resistant to shock and no weakness.

* Offensive Abilities - Melee attacks of giants, plus the additional shock damage of Storm Atronach melee and area attacks. Giant club with a shock enchantment.

* Locations - randomly spawn at any giant camp. May be alone, or have a normal giant, or mammoths, or both with it.

* Death Items - Two giant toes, two Void Salts and a Storm Giant Skull.

====================
3. Spawning Locations
====================

The mod replaces many of the giants found in Skyrim with elemental giants. Fire, Ice or Storm giants are found in each of the giant camps throughout Skyrim. They respawn as frequently as normal giants, and their placement is random. So if you encounter a Fire Giant at one giant camp, you might encounter an Ice Giant or Storm Giant when you revisit the same location. The giant camps appear on your map as mammoth skulls.

* Gameplay Tip: If you want to kill a specific giant, save your game before fast traveling to a giant camp. If the type of giant you want to slay is not there, load the save and fast travel, again. Then see if the type of giant you want to slay is now there.

============================
4. The Other Project A.W.E. Mod
============================

The awe in Project A.W.E. is an acronym for the Additional World Encounters. It is a series of mods to enhance game play by adding new creatures, which you may encounter throughout the Skyrim world. The other mod in the project is Fire, Ice and Storm Trolls!

===============================
5. Getting Skulls From Other Giants
===============================

This mod lets you loot giant skulls from the new elemental giants. If you want to loot skulls from normal giants, subscribe to the mod Dragons, Giants, Mammoths and Trolls Drop Skulls
