Girdle of Giant Strength– Magical Item (Dungeon Master Guide)
Girdle of Giant Strength: This belt looks similar to ordinary belts, but it is imbued with very powerful
magic. When worn it increases the physical prowess of its wearer, giving him
the Strength of a giant. (It doesn’t cause the wearer to grow to giant size,
however!) To determine how strong the wearer becomes and the bonuses he gets, roll
percentile dice and consult the table below.
The Strength gained is not cumulative with normal or magical Strength bonuses
except in combination with gauntlets of ogre power and magical warhammers.
