[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2398755, member: 1241"] oddly enough, the duration was longer in the older edition. ;) but i don't see why a lesser creature should have a more powerful ability. should this be Con-based sine thouls are living creatures? i don't know if OD&D elves were immune to paralysis in general, or just to thoul paralysis. i'm inclined to agree with orius, though i think it might be better higher than 1 (maybe 2, or even 3). good man! :) not that i'm inclined to throw away the older versions or anything... hmm, and i think it was Erica that gave them Str 15 Dex 14 Con 18 Int 6 Wis 11 Cha 10 in the CC. not sure that i would want to give them a Str lower than hobbys and ghouls, but should they be weaker? Dex could be 14 as Orius suggests, between hobby and ghoul/troll. Con 17 and 18 seem a bit high, though that maybe be the troll influence speaking. 2E Int was 5-7 (Rules Cyclopedia had 6) which matches the troll aspect. Wis 11 and Cha 10 seem fine, though we could always go lower if balance seems to demand it. i was considering this too. however, trolls and ghouls are both CE. tough call. ;) they do associate with hobgoblins mostly though...
