House Rules Suck

[Dinkeldog]

Ain't that the truth! Why are they called trolls, anyway? What odious, slinky monster lurks in dark places, yet thrives on heat and fire? What mischievous (if not outright malicious) being likes to trick people and stir up trouble in a community, just so it can sit back and feed off the commotion and negative energy, chuckling all the while? Sounds like something out of a Steven King novel... but is there anything like that in D&D?

I think it's a misspelling of "trawling", myself.

actually it has its roots in fishing.

when you troll you drag along at a slow pace.

Trolling a board usually drags something out....
