[QUOTE="Altamont Ravenard, post: 1177436, member: 14700"] Hm. I wonder if you could have made a coup de grâce attempt with, say, a lit torch or an alchemist's fire... They are not weapons [i]per se[/i] but you still need an attack roll to score a hit. Flame blade is an option, as well as, IMO, Produce flame. Acid arrow? probably... With a flaming weapon, sure, but only the fire damage could cause real damage IMO. The problem with all these options (if they are valid) is that they won't cause [i]that[/i] much damage, and the troll will have a good chance of making his fort save, but of course, if you can attempt a few consecutive Coups de Grâce, you'll eventually succeed. You could have killed the troll by suffocating it. Also, just by beating the troll continuously (ie making sure it stays unconscious) one guy with a lit torch could have done automatic damage every round (if it isn't possible to Coup de Grâce with a torch) until the creature was really dead...
