Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psychotic Jim" data-source="post: 234547" data-attributes="member: 547">I love Discworld.  Trolls can operate at room temperature.  They are just really stupid then.  I would just give them a flat penalty to their already low mental attributes instead of doing temporary damage.  Also, as they get older, they tend to get bigger and less mentally adept. It might be cool to reverse the aging table in the PHB for rock trolls as they age, becoming stronger and dumber as they age instead of the reverse. I would also make the bite damage higher than the claw/slam damage because a Discworld troll's teeth is made of diamond.  You might also want to lower the speed to 20 ft since the trolls are known to be lumbering oafs.       As for the mechanical stuff, the hp should be 34, not 40 [(4.5+Con Bonus)xHD].According to my calculations, the claw/slam attack bonus should be +9 (.75xHD + Str bonus - size penalty) and for the bite it should be +4 since this is a secondary natural attack and the troll does not have Multidexterity. Bonus to damage for the bite should be +3 (half of the normal damage bonus, round down.)  The damage bonus for the huge greatclub should be +10 (1.5xStr bonus), assuming that the troll does not get to use any of its natural attacks the same round it uses the great club.  The climb bonus should be higher due to the troll's high Strength.       Other than these the conversion looks great.  I hope you don't mind if I yoink this for my Discworld game should I ever get it running again.</blockquote>
