The main event of player options in this book is certainly the Path of the Giant barbarian. There wasn’t any reason given for why they were cut, but there wasn’t a whole lot of positive response online to the “Dino druid” and wizards already have a ton of subclasses, so I’m not sure they’ll be sorely missed. While the character options in Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants are good, I think there will be some disappointment that they dropped two of the subclasses-the Runecrafter wizard and Circle of Primeval druid-that were presented with the Giants Options Unearthed Arcana back in May 2022. In-Depth Review (Spoilers Ahead!) Player Options No new spells or races and only one subclass make this book a less sizeable offering of player options than Fizban’s.
