[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 493426, member: 710"] At the level you`re able to shift into a troll form, it is not as powerful as it seems. If you`re subdual damage exceeds your hitpoints, you`re out of fight - and this will happen fast to a Druid/Shifter with his d8 as Hit Die. And if you suffer 30 to 40 points of damage per round, chances are high you are more than 1 round away from waking up, and most fights do not last longer than 5 rounds, so chances are high that you will be unable to cause much damage. Many attacks that have a great chance to kill you directly are spells like Fireball (And the Troll`s Regeneration doesn`t help against this... :) ) or don`t deal direct hit point damage (Finger of Death - our Paladin and my Druid/Shifter died due to this spell. In both cases only because of a awful roll :) ). Be also aware that the "Regenerate Wounds" spells from Masters of the Wild or Magic of Faerun (?) do grant you similar effects for a short time, and since you probably lose the more powerful versions due to becoming a Shifter, it might all even out. Besides all this, the Troll Form is probably one of the most powerful forms. Be aware though, that a Fire Giant is stronger and might - if using the right weapon - be more dangerous than the Troll :) Mustrum Ridcully [/QUOTE]
