Message: <blockquote data-quote="ruemere" data-source="post: 4124193" data-attributes="member: 5515">I have had a look at monster summary in pdf (check Chuul entry), and would like to offer the following changes:Concept: strong melee combatant, with special abilities allowing him to close up fast on enemies and regenerate serious damage.Changes: I have simplified descriptions a bit. Also, I have lowered number of hitpoints, lowered Feral Regeneration to 20, changed recharge to 5,6, change wording of Rend to make it resemble a bit more similar entries of monsters with double attacks.Rationale: Feral Troll is pretty easy to drop to Bloodied, however, rather hard to kill (2/3 chances to regenerate). With advantage of numbers on PCs' side, it will be rather easy to overpower it, but in one on one combat it will keep regenerating (6th level players should easily dish out 20 damage per hit, but that may prove insufficient to put the monster down). Finally, in a single one on one, its Double attack and rend ability should ensure that it will be able to dish out more damage. The Reflex save is for the Rogues and other striker characters, to give them a fighting chance to avoid dangerous followup.Finally, check the new wording of Feral Regeneration (reaction, usable when bloodied, recharge at 5,6). Its meaning is simple - each time the monster is wounded and not killed, it may immediately heal itself. Of course, recharge takes place only once in 3 rounds (on average), but still, it will be damn hard to take it down for lower level characters, while those of higher level should be able to damage it fast enough.----Feral Troll, Level 6 Elite BruteLarge natural humanoid (giant)Initiative +3, Senses Perception +4, low-light visionHP 100, Bloodied 50AC 18; Fort 21, Ref 13, Will 14Vulnerable 10 fire, saves +2Speed 6Action Points: 1m Claw (standard; at-will) reach 2. +9 vs AC, 1d8+6 damageM Double attack and rend (standard; at-will) reach 2. two claw attacks.
