How about some more acid for your games!
Acid Explosion
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of bull bile)
Duration: Instantaneous
A concentrated burst of acid flares to life covering everything in a 20-foor radius of a point in range. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 10d4 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, the acid eats through armor of creatures in range. Creatures not wearing magic armor that filed their save have their AC reduced by 2 until the damage is repaired. Those that saved only have their AC reduced by 1. Creatures wearing magic armor that fail the save have their AC reduced by 1, while those that save do not have their AC reduced at all.
The acid also causes damage to all objects in the area of effect, possibly destroying them.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 3rd.

Caustic Glob
Conjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 50 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You create a glob of acid in your hand and throw it at a target in range. Make a ranged spell attack at a target. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 acid damage, and if the target’s armor is not magical, the target’s armor takes a -1 penalty to AC. This penalty is not cumulative with itself or other magic spells. Additional spells that reduce the AC of a target apply the highest penalty to the target’s AC instead of the total penalty.
This spell’s damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).

Let’s get back to the giant archetypes with the Giant Bloodline for the DnD 5e Sorcerer.
Giants are brutish creatures that don’t always kill those they capture. Or some seek them out to live among them in the wilderness. In either case, some children emerge from unions that may occur in the wilderness. You are one of these children. Your magic power emerged early as your giant heritage began to take hold.
Giant blood flows through your veins making you tougher than most. At 1st level, increase your Constitution or Strength by 3, to a maximum of 20.
Starting at 6th level you become increasingly aggressive. When you cast a cantrip you may also make a strength-based melee or thrown weapon ranged attack as part of the same action.
At 14th level, your body continues to inherit more of your giant ancestral traits. You gain a +3 to Strength or Constitution, to a maximum of 20.
Beginning at 18th level, you grow into the giant you were always meant to be. Increase your size to one category larger and change all your hit dice to d12s and recalculate your hit points.
I was thinking shield save you form a strike, but what about a spell that saves you from a crit?
Strike Break
1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 reaction
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: instantaneous
An field of magic force stops a strike from decimating a target, but merely causes the target to be pummeled. When you cast this spell, a target in range is no longer subject to a critical hit, but is struck as normal with an attack or spell. This will only affect one strike even if the target is struck with multiple critical hits in a round.

I have lots of Druids in my games. Let’s give them something to drool over!
Fetish of the Beast
wonderours item, uncommon (+1), rare (+2), or very rare (+3)
This wooden idol is carved into the shape of a merged bear, eagle, and squid. It it covered in wrapped fur, scales, and a few feathers. When a creature changes shape while holding this object, the new shape of the creature gains a bonus on attack rolls equal to the bonus on the idol. This object has no effect on the default shape of the creature.

We had a rogue who jumped a candle, so how about a rogue who killed a giant?
Most rogues are sneaky fellows who walk the dark paths and hide in the shadows. You are not the person. You favor strength over speed . You follow a member of an old court of knights. Your mentor Jack the Giant Slayer used deception, large axes, and magic items to fell any foe fool enough cross your path.
The original Jack the Giant Slayer fell a beanstalk with an ax. You’ve trained to follow in his foot steps. Starting at 3rd level, you can make sneak attack with non-finesse weapons. In addition, you can now wield non-light weapons off-hand. Two-handed weapons must still be wielded two-handed.
Jack climbed a beanstalk, and you know how to do the same. You climb at the same rate you walk on the ground, unless you posses a faster climbing spread already.
In addition, you gain advantage on all Strength(athletics) checks.
Jack lied to giants to the point they killed themselves, and starting at 9th level, you gain advantage on a Charisma(Deception) checks.
Jack beat the devil at his own game, and he was awarded a magic sword, a cap of knowledge, a cloak of invisibility, and the shoes of swiftness. When you become 13th level, you are award a gift of your choosing from the round table. You must choose between a +1 weapon, a cloak of displacement, headband of intellect, or boots of speed. When chosen, this choice can never be undone
When you reach 17th level, you may not be the Jack of old, but you are the Jack of now! As a bonus action you can make a Charisma(Deception) check against another creature. If that creature fails, you gain advantage on your next attack roll against the creature.
In addition, when you reach level 17, your sneak attack damage against creatures larger than yourself increase to 1d8’s. If your sneak attack dice are already 1d8’s or larger, increase your sneak attack dice to the next larger dice size.
Let’s keep up with the against the giants push with another spell-Gravity Crush
Gravity Crush
3rd-level evocation

Creatures that are large or larger make this save with disadvantage.
