Spirit Summoning: Once per day, a taiga giant can perform a 10-minute ritual to summon ancestral spirits to aid it in battle. These invisible spirits grant the giant a +2 deflection bonus to Defense, immunity to mind-influencing and illusion powers, and use of one of the following powers as a 14th level adept (rank 17, Wis, save Difficulty 19): Bless, Elemental Resistance (choose one), Ward (vice or virtue), or True Vision. These powers last for an entire day (regardless of their normal duration). A taiga giant’s ancestral spirits can be detected by any power that reveals invisible creatures or undead. These beings occupy the same space as the taiga giant and can be affected by the Purifying Light power as a single undead creature with as many levels as the taiga giant. Destroying these spirits banishes them for the remainder of the day, though the giant may resummon them the following day. These spirits cannot be attacked or interacted with in any other way.
Run and Throw: A taiga giant can throw a boulder while moving. This ability functions exactly as the Move-By Action feat, but only applies to a ranged attack with a rock.
Rock Catching (Ex) A taiga giant of at least Large size can catch Small, Medium, or Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape). See page 101 of the True20 Bestiary for details.
Rock Throwing: The range increment is 140 feet for a taiga giant’s thrown rocks.
Skills: When hunting, taiga giants often wear lichen-crusted hunting cloaks and camouflage that help hide even their great size. This and their natural stealth grant them a +8 racial bonus on Stealth checks in grasslands or forested terrain.
