    $\begingroup$ I'd recommend looking at the square-cube law. Any giant with humanoid proportions but ten times the size of an ordinary person could never survive. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2019 at 19:42
  • $\begingroup$ @Gryphon That's something I've been concerned about, yes. My preference would be for the giant to be not overly much bigger than a human, maybe twice the stature at most. But I don't know what that does to the radius of the finger and whether my ring scenario would work. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2019 at 19:47
  • $\begingroup$ Your pretty much correct in your original question. The giant would have to be 10 times bigger. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2019 at 19:49

    $\begingroup$ if you want to question to specifically adress "reality check", add that to the tags, otherwise everything is fair game (though I did the reality check anyway) $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2019 at 21:45
  • $\begingroup$ @Trish I wasn't sure whether that tag applied to this scenario or not, but I suppose it does really. I've added it as you suggest. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2019 at 21:56
