The SendingStone review

Ettin is a formidable foe with a challenge rating of 4, brought to life with an impressive 85 hit points and a natural armor rating of 12. However, his low charisma and dexterity scores mean that he may not be the most nimble or skilled fighter. His chaotic evil alignment suggests he is unpredictable and may not adhere to any set of morals or rules. His passive perception score is quite low, suggesting that he may not be the most observant of opponents. Overall, while Ettin may not be the most finesse-based fighter, his strength and resilience make him a formidable opponent on the battlefield.
