D&D 5E (2014) Need ideas for a Troll race for PC's

[Kerry Jordan]

I've recently posted my take on a troll character race/class on DMs Guild.

Trolls seems like they would be candidates for racial feats, like deep gnomes. Regeneration seems a particularly good fit for that, since they wouldn't be able to get it until 4th level (and keep doesn't work if they take fire or acid damage that round). I also think a Brute feat (+1 strength and become size large) would be a good fit for a troll PC race (and a minotaur, ogre, etc. one too).

I think regeneration is a bit over-powered for a single feat, but I think you may have something with the idea of a Brute feat.

There was a "troll-kin" race in the iron kingdoms setting...
