		Girdles of Giant Strength
=======================================================================

Similar to Gauntlets of Ogre Power (q.v.), these belts increase the 
strength of the wearer into that of a giant. (In Grey Hero, normal 
humans have 10 STR, Hill Giants have 35 STR, Stone Giants 40, Frost 
Giants 45, Fire Giants 50, Cloud Giants 55, and Storm Giants 60)

	Giant 	STR 
	-----	---
	Hill	+25
	Stone	+30
	Frost	+35
	Fire	+40
	Cloud	+45
	Storm	+50

e.g., Lord Robilar has 18/78 STR and a girdle of storm giant strength, 
      so, in GreyHero, he'd have 25+50=75 STR!

	----------------
	Designer's Note:
	----------------

The original items in the AD&D DMG specify that the STR from the girdle 
is NON-CUMULATIVE with normal or magical STR. 

The only exception is when using the girdle with gauntlets of ogre power 
and a hammer of thunderbolts:

	Joe Average:	10 STR
			+20 STR for Gauntlets of Ogre Power
			+50 for Girdle of Storm Giant Strength
			---
			 80 STR total! 

	Mr. Perfect: 	30 STR 
			+20 STR for Gauntlets of Ogre Power
			+50 for Girdle of Storm Giant Strength
			---
			100 STR total! 

If one was to follow this strictly, then we'd need another limitation 
(-1/4 to -1/2?). But, IMO, it isn't needed since GreyHero allows for 
giants with a range of STR (Norm/NCM/ACM) and the girdle 'merely' 
boosts the wearer's STR to a comparable giant range instead of only 
making any wearer as strong as the average giant of that type. There 
could be two vesions of this conversion -- one strict (the lesser 
version) and an adaptive one that allows 'stacking' (the greater 
version). I think that the adaptive version makes more sense to use
as a standard but the 'Girdle of Average Giant Strength' is a 
worthwhile option to be used occassionally as well.
