Again, I like how Tolkien didn't have an exhaustive list of every quality of every beastie - gives a DM alot of wiggle room. Our DM usually decides what creatures/badguys we fight based on two things - firstly, in an established campaign setting like Middle-Earth, location is considered. Secondly, our level. It's a close second though. I would imagine we will encounter hill-trolls if we encounter any at all.  Oh, thought I'd share an interesting occurence. A raven (one of the intelligent, yet non-talking kind) followed us from the Iron Hills to act as a messenger between our expedition leader (one of Durin's line) and Dain. Once in Lake-town we decided send this guy off ahead of us to possibly contact the ravens who inhabited the Ravenhill guard tower on the slopes of the Lonely Mountain. We made our way north en route to Ravenhill the next morning, intending to get the ravens to help us scout the area safely and give us any information we'd need. It never came back to us during the journey there, and when we arrived at the tower there were no ravens anywhere. We slept in the ruins of the guard tower and were attacked in the dead of night by the cursed remains of the dwarves who fell defending that place from Smaug. We prevailed and buried them with honor.  Rest well, brothers. But the mystery remains; where be those ravens? Maybe we could get this thread moved, I'm not trying to stray off topic and we've kind of moved off of the rules side of things.</blockquote>
