How do you kill a Fiendish half-Black Dragon troll?

[Thanee]

Otto's Irresistible Dance (or Hold Monster) to negate reflex save, Bestow Curse to grant it vulnerability to fire, and then let it taste some maximized or empowered Flame Arrows!

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. CDG says you need a melee weapon, a bow, or a crossbow. It is possible they didn't mean to eliminate the other types of weapons, but by the rules, you can't do it. Heck, you can't even CDG with a pistol.

Still, I'd say a plurality of DMs would allow it.

Actually he never mentioned CDGing with the Alchemist's Fire, just sneak attacking it. That will work. You are correct with the CDG part though, melee weapons only.

Heh. You're right. He quoted my argument about CDG, though, so i naturally assumed that's what he meant.

Half-Machine Troll

Here's another one that will make your players' heads explode: Add the Half-Machine template from Dungeon to any creature with Regeneration.

Half-Machines halve all subdual damage.

Submerge them in acid.

Many, many castings of Extended melf's acid arrow (2d4/rnd/spell).

Ummm...the half-black-dragon template grants acid immunity...

I wouldn't.

Yikes!

Drowning is definitely the most effective way to go. ALthough I thought I saw somewhere that if a troll is decapitated and the head is forcibly kept away from the body for ten minutes, the troll dies. This isn't in the SRD, however.

Drown the buggers.
