"I barf on the troll..."

[Wippit Guud]

Why didn't they just build a bonfire?

starve and suffocate

While starving the troll might take some time, burying the blighter should do the trick. Suffocation damage doesn't regenerate.

If you remove body parts from a regenerating creature (like the head), they can be reattached again, but what if you just take them and store them away?

In my game, the body parts will grow a full body! This happened in a game a long time ago, when a player lopped the head off of a troll and stuck it in her backpack. Later that night, one of the players on watch was started by something moving around in the groups gear. The whole party was alerted, and watched with horror, as a troll head and nearly completed spinal cord flopped out of the player's backpack and began lashing around. >

I might allow it if the character ate the troll. Otherwise, no dice.

Stomache acid is too high a pH to do acid damage.

At best, it stings and burns a little.

You need a pH below -1 before you get something that's going to do damage in a short amount of time.

The question is: Why the passage about reattaching body parts? And especially, will this create two Trolls from one, since where does he know where to regrow? (Hey, now we get it why trolls are all so agressive and do not fear combat - it is like sex for them, they reproduce if an enemy slices them with their swords and axes... )

What a boring and uncreative solution...

Sulfuric acid is dangerous because it dissolves in lipids, meaning it bonds with the fat in your skin, so it's very hard to wash off. Hydrochloric acid isn't as bad because it dissolves in water, so it can be washed off, or even just run right off the skin.

Think of Alchemical Acid as the equivalent of napalm: it's dangerous because it's both potent and it sticks to the surface it's on.

This is the reason I think that the rules for a troll's regeneration are just silly. You can hack it to tiny, tiny bits, but it'll come back if you don't apply fire or acid? Come on.

A monster's regeneration ought to be like a player's from the appropriate ring - while still alive, you gain HP at a greatly increased rate. Maybe much faster, like a couple HP per turn, to make it have genuine effect in combat. Being effectively invulnerable to a host of lethal things is just unreasonable.

That would be fast healing.

Maybe they should change the name of the ring to a ring of fast healing?

hm

You kill regenerating creatures by drowning them in a bucket while continually coup-de-grace-ing to keep them down.

 

[Verdigris]

Better to drown them in a bucket of barf, just to be safe.
