[QUOTE="Bloodstone de Troll, post: 233730, member: 3538"] I have always loved the discworld trolls, with their rock bodies and eating habits.

Special Attacks: Rend (2d6+7) Special Qualities: Troll Traits, Temperature vulnerability, DR 10/Bludgeoning weapons. Saves: Fort +8, Ref -1, Will +1 Abilities: Str 25, Dex 6, Con 19, Int 6, Wis 10, Cha 7 Skills: Climb +6, Listen +2, Spot +2 Feats: Weapon Focus (greatclub) Climate/Terrain: Any land, aquatic, and underground Organization: Solitary, pair, gang (2-4), or band (5-8) Challenge Rating: 4 Treasure: Standard Alignment: Usually chaotic neutral Advancement: By character class Trolls are silicon based life forms.
