So why not adjust the trolls? Trolls have fast healing as long as they are not burning and take double damage from fire. That way the troll has a similar flavor but any flaming weapon mechanic you choose should be fairly effective.As far the mechanic itself, I thought there was a rule somewhere about torches dealing damage as clubs +1d4 with a chance of being extinguished with each hit.I would suggest the flaming weapon deal normal damage -1 +1d4 fire with a chance to catch a hit target on fire. The pitch, once ignited lasts 3+1d6 rounds but each swing has a 20% chance of extinguishing the flame. (if relit, do not reroll duration) If you want to roll excessive amounts of dice, each hit has 50% chance of pulling off some of the pitch reducing the remaining duration by 1 rnd.</blockquote>
