Old Troll
HD-
d10
AC-
Base 8, Max 14. Require large armors.
You
are not the kind of troll that lives in dungeons. You're an Old
Troll. The new trolls? The greenskins? They're the scum, degenerate
bastards of The Red God and his foul troll wife. Old Trolls are much
older, much wiser, and much greater then they. You once were united
and served The Troll King, but he died and now you all hate each
other.
Take
whatever you rolled for your Strength and Constitution and add +25 to
it. These are your new stat modifiers per these ability scores;
40+ +5
30-39 +4
20-29 +3
Use
normal stat modifiers below that point. Your massive strength,
health, and resistance to disease and poison are your inherent
powers.
You
are a troll, and that means you're tough and you regenerate damage.
You're not quite as tough as a bastard green troll, but you are
tough. You restore 1 health per exploration turn. Spending a single
day in the forest picking mushrooms and living under a bridge would
naturally restore all your health anyway, so you always recover from
downtime with full health. If any of your limbs are severed, you can
reattach them by pressing and holding the severed limb with the
bloody stump for an hour. If they are severed and not recovered or
destroyed by fire or acid, you will regrow them in a period of 1 day
for a finger, 1 week for a hand, and 1 month for an arm- any larger
chunk requires a full year. The same pattern applies to your toes,
feet, and legs. Your soul in is in your heart, and as such your
severed head will grow back in a year as long as you can survive
stumbling around headless for all that time, stuffing anything into
your neck hole and hibernating and waking up VERY hungry.
At
levels 4, 8, and 10 you get +1 to hit with all weapons.
When
you create a troll, roll on the troll bigotry table twice. The first
roll is the type of troll you are, which can be determined by minor
differences in nose shape, finger fatness, skin tone, and hair. If
you encounter any other type of troll, you despise them, and
they will despise you- treat all reaction checks with that kind of
troll as a 3 or most hostile result before an automatic attack. Roll
again on the bigotry table to determine a type of troll you despise
even more of; this type you automatically attack, or treat your
reaction roll with this troll subtype as a 2. If you rolled your
troll type as your most hated type of troll; then you are an outcast
troll and hate all trolls, but may secretly wish to rejoin them.
Trolls
are old. You are old. Most trolls are as old as the hills. You
remember many people and historical figures; there is a 1 in 6 chance
any old figure is someone you've seen, met with, or were “slain”
by in the past. You remember faces, and all trolls carry personal
items inscribed with the faces of their friends on them, or carve
them into trees or stones. Most of the faces you have you've had
longer then when you knew that person, and it has become impossible
to differentiate between them. The troll who carves his friend's face
on a mountain will assume he must have been a pebble back when they
slayed goblins in a cave together; he couldn't fit in that dungeon at
his current size. Such insane ramblings are common among old trolls.
Upon
reaching level 10, you become an Elder Troll
and can safely put aside your prejudices for one single time per
adventure against other trolls, and they will suspend them for you,
just for that once. You've also gained more access to your memories
and deep thinking; you can identify famous figures, magic items, old
spells, and other ancient things on a 3 to 6 chance. Finally, you
recover 1 hit point per combat round, your increased regeneration
allowing you to do even more ridiculous things with your body, like
using your intestines as ropes or pulling out your teeth to make
arrowheads or spear-points.
