I figure that prone, a 20' giant has a profile maybe 2m (shoulder-to-shoulder) X 1m (front to back), and "shrubbery" could effectively hide that outline... It all depends on the shrubbery. There's a ligustrum lucidum (glossy privet) in our yard that's about 10m tall and as thick with leaves as possible. Quote -- Doorkeeper to cats.

Shiningbrow Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Since we've gotten to this point, I can legitimately ask - what should be the % chance of cutting down a tree with a herring? (NB - it's on topic and sort of relevant. Hence, it's not a red herring) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my Dorastor, the Giant King of Neverdead is a 16m tall Giant Vampire. In one scenario, he disguised himself as a tree, basically by holding some snapped off branches and sticking a could of bushes down the back of his armour, as he Fumbled his Stealth roll. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
