Troll

Overview

Fierce as balrogs and possessing only the most rudimentary of civilized behavior, Trolls have one of the least developed, yet most feared, cultures in the lands.

Trolls hunt. Trolls kill. Trolls eat. Beyond this, troll society is, at best, sketchy. They congregate on the family scale, with only three to fifteen claiming a certain area for hunting and living at a time. Trolls are very nomadic as well, and families of them have been sighted on the outskirts of Darkport and then in the outlying farms of Rommena within a week or two. This mobility is part of what makes them so terrifying - one never knows when a pack of them will come upon the adventuring party in the late hours after the sun has gone down. The only safety precaution that seems to work is to have a large fire going all night. Adventurers who have fought against them have reported that they shy away from flames and are inflicted with heavier wounds when burned than other humanoids.

Trolls stand in the area of nine or so feet tall and, while lanky and seemingly ungainly, are filled with a tremendous strength and constitution that allows them to fight long after their opponent is flagging. One oddity: they have longer arms, in proportion to other humanoids, and more than one traveller has told of then running with a strange, though efficient, three-limbed stride that can overtake even the hardiest stallion in the short run.

Racial Traits

Owing to a very advanced metabolism, Trolls regenerate at an accelerated rate.

Suggested Classes

Trolls are perhaps best suited to life as a Warrior, as they are incredibly strong but (frankly) not terribly dextrous, intelligent or wise.

Restricted Classes

Too chaotic to become Paladins (and more inclined to eat, rather than ride, the horses), too worldly to become Monks and so revolting to Nature they cannot become Druids, the only other class unaccessable by Trolls is that of the Necromancer. Perhaps the dark gods don't wish the be worshipped by these vile creatures, or perhaps it's for an altogether different reason.
