This broad girdle is typically made from bone, hide, and hair. It grants the wearer legendary Strength.
When donned by an attuned wearer, the wearer is granted the following legendary Strength score based on the girdle's type:
The wearer can also throw boulders in a fashion similar to giants, although the rocks thrown are much smaller.
Throw Rock. [missile] (major) The wearer can throw an appropriately weighted stone as if it were a giant-hurled missile weapon. These missiles are treated as giant-hurled missiles but do not bounce.
When throwing boulders, the girdle wearer adds their Strength bonus to damage on a successful strike.
The wearer gains proficiency with such missiles as per a giant of the same type as the girdle.
There is no attack roll adjustment for range.
Targets of a thrown boulder cannot be in melee with the wearer.
If throwing a smaller rock than that indicated by the girdle, use the next smaller die-type for damage. If throwing a stone smaller than 14-lbs., the missile is treated as an improvised weapon (damage die and whether Strength bonus applies is per the GM; proficiency penalties apply; range categories are short/medium/long: 10-ft./20-ft./30-ft.).
If the wearer becomes the size of the giant of the same type as the girdle and the girdle is also somehow enlarged as well, the wearer will throw rocks as per a giant of the same type as the girdle (rocks thrown must be 10 times the indicated weight). Thus, if the wearer of a girdle of stone giant strength becomes at least 12-ft. tall and the girdle also is resized, a 200-lb. boulder can be thrown out to 300-ft. for 3d10 damage and the rock will bounce as normal for these type of weapons.
These girdles never resize and most (01-80) are made for Man-sized humanoids (including dwarves) while the rest (81-00) are sized for Small sized humanoids.
Attunement. In order to operate, the girdle must be worn for at least 48 hours continuously to attune itself with the wearer.
