Posted Apr 9, 2019THANK YOU! I love your race build. It stays true to Troll size and the things trolls are capable of without giving them Vulnerability to Fire(Literally the most common damage in the game). My only suggestion is to give only 2 of the 3 movement speeds. It feels a little bit much for a possible level 1 person to be able to have both swimming and burrowing speeds.
(edit)* There is no weight for the race.

Posted Aug 24, 2019I would probably improve Regeneration dices and/or start giving improvements earlier, but still make it so the troll doesn't regenerate a turn after receiving acid/fire damage or still in a 'condition' like burning.
Yes, weakness to fire/acid is annoying but it defines a large part of what a d&d troll is.
