Troll (Dungeons And Dragons)

Troll is a kind of monster in Dungeons and Dragons game. A troll is a quite easy monster for Game Master to handle due to it's lack of intelligence and combat tactics (see below). You can just throw one at the party as a random wilderness encounter. Food is the primary thing that drives a troll's mind. Make it sneak up on party's food supplies when they are camping. Troll can easily kill a party if they don't have enogh firepower (at least 15 of regular damage per round or enogh fire or acid spells). As written in Dungeons and Dragons System Reference Document:

Trolls walk upright but hunched forward with sagging shoulders. Their gait is uneven, and when they run, their arms dangle and drag along the ground. For all this seeming awkwardness, trolls are very agile. A typical adult troll stands 9 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds. Females are slightly larger than males. A trolls rubbery hide is moss green, mottled green and gray, or putrid gray. The hair is usually greenish black or iron gray. Trolls speak Giant.

Combat

Trolls have no fear of death: They launch themselves into combat without hesitation, flailing wildly at the closest opponent. Even when confronted with fire, they try to get around the flames and attack. Rend (Ex): If a troll hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponents body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d6+9 points of damage. Regeneration (Ex): Fire and acid deal normal damage to a troll. If a troll loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

Scrag

These cousins of the troll have the aquatic subtype. They dwell in any body of water in any climate. They have a base land speed of 20 feet and a swim speed of 40 feet and are found only in aquatic environments. They regenerate only if mostly immersed in water.

Troll Hunter

Some trolls, more cunning than most, are not satisfied with merely eating civilized beings but train to hunt them relentlessly. These troll hunters are fearsome rangers who focus on slaying and devouring humanoid prey.

Combat

A troll hunter makes full use of its scent ability to track its favored enemies and generally prefers to hunt in darkness. The troll hunter uses its limited repertoire of spells to protect itself from damaging forms of energy and to immobilize enemies. Typical Ranger Spells Prepared (2; save DC 12 + spell level): 1stentangle, resist energy. '
