Maybe a kind Mod will move it.A few comments below• Base type is Giant.• +2 Strength, -2 Intelligence, –2 Charisma: Half-trolls are strong but dull and beastial in appearance.• Medium: As Medium creatures, half-trolls (human) have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.Sounds good. Mayube Powerful Build?• 1 extra feat at 1st level, because the character was born human and retains its human personality.• 4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional HD/level, since the character was born human and retains its human personality.I would drop these. It isn't a human, and getting the human bonuses weakens humans in general.• Half-troll (human) base land speed is 30 feet.• -8 racial penalty with Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, and Use Rope skills: Half-trolls have weapons for hands.Why these and not other obvious choices like disable device?• Low-light Vision: An half-troll can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination.• Darkvision: Half-trolls can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Half-trolls can function just fine with no light at all.• Automatic Language: Common. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).• Favored Class: Half-Troll.Sounds reasonable.• Class Skills: Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Spot (Wis), and Swim (Str).How many skill points? Two/level?Code: Lvl HD BAB Cannot reproduce the nice box... So you are giving out three d8 HD, so it is only a +2LA, and retains most/all of the troll's power? I really think it should be 1d8 hd, or maybe at most 2d8HD and +3 or so Level adjustment. Basically you have given all the abilities of a troll, so the LA should not change much if at all.My few thoughts.</blockquote>
