@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford @Wizards_DnD how come giants changed size in 5e compared to 3/4e? e.g. the Hill Giant was Large in 3e/4e, but changed to Huge in 5e. does this render certain minis obsolete? what's the reason behind the change?

The size of a creature in its stat block is its typical size. If you're the DM, you're free to use a miniature of a different size for the creature. Changing sizes can change how certain abilities work, so be ready for potentially fun surprises. #DnD https://t.co/CW0jsX9u3h

5e doesn’t assume minis, right? https://t.co/rZtSeM1ebg

In D&D, you're free to use miniatures or not. Most of the time I don't use them, except when I'm staging a complex battle or I'm simply in the mood to have minis on the table. #DnD https://t.co/2PtnCiEDTN
