A troll's defining features are his strength and (effective) immunity to all sorts of damage... except fire and acid. That's a pretty big chink in the armor.I got to thinking about that. What if it was deliberate? What would be the benefit of a super-soldier with such an obvious Achille's heel?So trolls in my campaign are the servants of dragons. Bred and selected to be powerful warriors that are uniquely vulnerable to their masters' signature weapon.Dragons (as usual) tend to work behind the scenes, rarely leaving their massive palaces (I've never understood why a genius creature of unimaginable wealth and power would stoop so low as to sleep in a cave). The trolls are their elite envoys and servants, wearing fine masterwork armor and skilled in both diplomacy and the arts of war. Each troll bears, both on his shield or robe and across his back, the seal of his draconic lord.Makes'em scary not only for what they are, but who they represent. A party of trolls on the road is to be given a wide berth, both physically and diplomatically.</blockquote>
