QUALITIES

Power Attack (ex) - A Frost Giant may choose to take a penalty to its attack roll (up to -5). For each point of penalty, the Frost Giant does one extra point of damage. The Frost Giant must decide to use power attack at the beginning of its turn and it applies to all attack made until the start of its next turn.

ACTIONS
Attacks

Rock Catching (Reaction)(ex) - Once per round, when an Frost Giant would normally be hit by a thrown rock, it can use its reaction to attempt to catch the rock instead. To do so, it must make a Dex save DC 15 for Small rocks, DC 20 for medium rocks, and DC 25 for large ones.

Cleave (ex) - As a standard action, the Frost Giant can make a single attack with a melee weapon at its highest attack bonus. If it hits, it deals damage normally and can make another attack against a foe adjacent to the first. The Frost Giant may continue making as many attacks as possible provided opponents are adjacent and in range. Using cleave, causes the creature to take a -2 penalty to AC until its next turn.
