The troll art is up

I just don't see "turns into stone in daylight" to be all that interesting. "Oh, great, another pack of trolls. GenericCleric7, let them swarm me and then pop open your daily Daylight spell." Yawn.

I wonder how their regeneration will work and if they will just be vulnerable to fire and acid.

I was wondering that too. Maybe a regeneration that gets interupted temporarily if they get damaged by fire or acid? I believe the vampirelord template had something like that with radiant damage...
As long as they get anything better than anything other than fire and acid dealing non lethal damage. Means that a troll with a fire and acid immunity ring are practically unkillable (and not fun to have in your party due to savage species I can tell you)...

Awesome trolls. Betcha the big guy will be a mini in the next Huge set...

If that's what the Daylight spell would do... (Vampires aren't killed by it in 3E, either).

Or maybe a rechargeable regeneration ability?

I seem to remember that Regeneration requires an action now, so if you deal enough damage to drop the Troll, he won't regenerate. (Meaning that I'll no longer have to contemplate whether you can actually coup-de-grace a Troll without using fire or acid...)

At a guess, that's a troll, a giant troll and a war troll.

They look pretty darn good, I think; better than the previews, really, and better than the 3e version. (Which itself was a tremendous improvement over the 1e/2e trolls.) They do look green and slimy, but I'd guess it's the same kind of slimy as a moss-covered rock.
