The giant troll makes a normal attack roll against an opponent or object. If the attack is successful, the opponent takes 1d4+ (strength bonus) points of damage, and the victim being held takes 1d6 points of damage from the attack.   Rock Throwing (Ex): Giant trolls are accomplished rock throwers and receive a +1 racial bonus to attack rolls when throwing rocks.  A giant troll can hurl rocks weighing 40 to 50 pounds each (Small objects) up to 5 range increments.  Their thrown rocks have a range increment of 120 feet.   Rock Catching (Ex): A giant troll can catch Small, Medium-size, or Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape).  Once per round, a giant troll that would normally be hit by a rock can make a Reflex save to catch it as a free action.  The DC is 15 for a Small rock, 20 for a Medium-size one, and 25 for a Large one.  (If the projectile has a magical bonus to attack, the DC increases by that amount.)  The giant troll must be ready for and aware of the attack.   Fire Vulnerability (Ex): If a giant troll suffers 10 or more points of damage from fire, its fast healing ability will fail until it recovers all of those hit points through normal healing.The giant troll first appeared in the first edition Fiend Folio (1981), and later in the Monstrous Manual (1993).</blockquote>
