[QUOTE="Shade, post: 2404877, member: 287"] Catching up... Paralysis: I'd make it Con-based, as most other critters with paralysis that aren't undead use Con. Alignment: I agree with same as hobgoblins. Regen/Fast Healing: The half-troll template in Fiend Folio grants fast healing, if that helps sway the decision. Goblinoid Subtype: Yeah, I'm for it. Ability Scores: Going with the suggested Str 15 Dex 14 Con 18 Int 8 Wis 11 Cha 10... This gives them racial modifiers of Str +4, Dex +4, Con +8, Int -2. Here's what the component creatures have... Troll: +12 Strength, +4 Dexterity, +12 Constitution, –4 Intelligence (minimum 3), –2 Wisdom, –4 Charisma. Hob: +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution. Ghoul: +2 Str, +4 Dex, +2 Int, +4 Wis, +2 Cha. If we average this and round down to the nearest even number, we get: +4 Str, +2 Dex, +4 Con, -2 Int, +2 Wis, -2 Cha. I'm not opposed to the original suggestion, but this keeps the thoul more in line with other creatures of it's relative CR: Bugbear: -4 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, -2 Charisma. Gnoll: +4 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma. This also keeps them weaker physically than the half-troll, which theoretically has "more troll" in it, not diluted by ghoul "blood". Half-Troll Template: Str +6, Dex +2, Con +6, Int -2, Cha -2 [/QUOTE]
