Re: Are Giant clerics and wizards and so on a thing?
As NPCs, sure, though the CR rules for it are kinda flaky (in 3/3.5e. 4e just invents stats, not sure what 5e does).

In 5e DnD some giant flavours have innate spells. They don't have PC classes though.

D&D is the only class and level game that I'm really familiar with - although in my limited experience the Palladium fRPG does classes for monsters in the same erratic manner as it does everything else. In other games classes and levels are often not a thing (GURPS, FATE, BRP ... and other, non fantasy systems) ... Logically, in world building terms at least, there would seem to be no good reason for them not to be a thing unless that is very much baked into the assumptions of the setting. |

Giants have beings who fill those roles but they aren’t statted out the way player characters are.

Re: Are Giant clerics and wizards and so on a thing?
Of course, giant clerics and wizards are handled natively in GURPS.
Score one for the home team! :^) |

Re: Are Giant clerics and wizards and so on a thing?
Certainly, folklore and myth gives giants those roles, but not stated in D&D terms. Older forms of D&D (think AD&D and earlier) had types like Witch Doctors, which had those roles or mixtures of them.

Re: Are Giant clerics and wizards and so on a thing?
2nd ed. also had a supplement for Shamans. Very "spirit interaction" from what I remember rather than classic class rules.
