Generally, if I suggest or even agree with an idea, I have at least a
fair idea how it would be done.  This time I don't, but since we're
talking about something that's dependent on several other major
changes to game mechanics, such that the way the current code works is
no indication of how hard that would be to implement, I'm going to say
yes anyway.  Hill Giants should take no more damage from a frostbolt
than an Ogre would, regardless of the direction it hits them from.
