Message: <blockquote data-quote="ThomasBJJ" data-source="post: 179840" data-attributes="member: 993">What I failed to mention was that it was 1 Troll against 5 2nd level characters.  I lowered the Trolls Str down to 19 and dropped his Con down 2 points. So it was not even a full strength troll. Plus, the PC's were warned that there were trolls in the area. Still, the PC's barely won that fight, and all told, had to beat 4 trolls (one at a time). Too tough an encounter for 5 2nd levelers?[edit] When I say 1 at a time, the trolls were in seperate parts of the cave area. The players had the option to rest after each one, they ended up fighting 1, then went straight after another immediately. The next day they fought one more (another tough fight) and ended up fighting the 4th one in all about 1 hour later, not necessarily by choice. (Involved being stuck with it in a pit trap.  3 PC's went down to fight it while the fighter/archer stayed up above firing arrows down on it. The Fighter and Cleric got dropped quick (they were wounded from the last fight) and only the Monk/sorcerer was left in melee, with the fighter still firing arrows (90% missed). The Monk/Sor was doing good with a Mage armor & shield spell giving an AC of 26, but suddenly the shield spell wore off and he was toast as well. Troll had only 4 Hp left. The fighter finally nailed it for 8 dmg. it got back up the next round with 1 hp (regenerated). If the fighter missed one shot, he would never catch up with its regeneration and the 4 downed PC's would die. Luckily, he hit again for like 9, jumped down and Coup de gras and burned it with one of the last oil flasks that failed to break earlier.  Litterally 1 failed attack roll from losing almost the whole party.</blockquote>
