Whirlwind: Special - A Smack or Fist with Assail hits all targets within range. Impact: Special - When the Ettin uses Dash, it automatically deals 1 damage to all adjacent targets at the end of its turn.
Tactics
Ettins can Overhead to pin down players if the Ettin has allies, but consider using Impact if dueling a speedy player, given it automatically hits. If multiple targets are within range, use Whirlwind if they’re that close or all targets have high Fortitude, use Scream if they’re more dispersed.
Drops

Description
Are they stronger because they know how to pick up a tree and use it as a club? Or does the increased intelligence required to grasp such a concept a side-effect of increased muscle strength? Either way, these ogres are taller and sometimes thicker, but universally carry around trees, stop signs, light posts, and other terrible but sometimes funny objects.
Well, funny until it cracks you for half your HP as a Sentinel.
