Troll
The troll has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
The troll regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If the troll takes acid or fire damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of the troll’s next turn. The troll dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.
Actions
Variants
Whenever the troll takes at least 15 slashing damage at one time, roll a d20 to determine what else happens to it:
1-10: Nothing else happens.
11-14: One leg is severed from the troll if it has any legs left.
15- 18: One arm is severed from the troll if it has any arms left.
19-20: The troll is decapitated, but the troll dies only if it can’t regenerate. If it dies, so does the severed head.
If the troll finishes a short or long rest without reattaching a severed limb or head, the part regrows. At that point, the severed part dies. Until then, a severed part acts on the troll’s initiative and has its own action and movement. A severed part has AC 13, 10 hit points, and the troll’s Regeneration trait.
A severed leg is unable to attack and has a speed of 5 feet.
A severed arm has a speed of 5 feet and can make one claw attack on its turn, with disadvantage on the attack roll unless the troll can see the arm and its target. Each time the troll loses an arm, it loses a claw attack.
If its head is severed, the troll loses its bite attack and its body is blinded unless the head can see it. The severed head has a speed of 0 feet and the troll’s Keen Smell trait. It can make a bite attack but only against a target in its space.
The troll’s speed is halved if it’s missing a leg. If it loses both legs, it falls prone. If it has both arms, it can crawl. With only one arm, it can still crawl, but its speed is halved. With no arms or legs, its speed is 0, and it can’t benefit from bonuses to speed.
Trolls
Trolls are monstrous anthropoid creatures of rapacious appetite. They are motivated almost entirely by the need to slake an agonizing and insatiable hunger. They do not organize into societies and are not cooperative or obedient associates. However, trolls can sometimes be found loosely participating in bands of intelligent species such as orcs, ogres, giants, or hags who can increase their odds at acquiring meat and treasure.
Freakish Mutation Trolls have bizarre and extraordinary physiology. They recover from wounds and regenerate damaged body parts so quickly that one can watch them heal in mere moments. Only fire and acid can arrest these rapid mutations and trolls will attack anyone wielding them with single-minded ferocity and intensity.
