One person wants to play a troll. Ok, a troll has +7 LA so that's pretty unbalanced right out of the gate. I can change the HD to 1, but what about the regeneration and natural armor? How would that scale back up as the person gains in levels? Any suggestions or links? Thanks!

Here are some tips though for trolls; -lower ability modifiers to -/+2s -loose large size, gain powerful build (see half-giant) -loose rend -loose regeneration 5 (acid or fire), replace with quick healing one or regneration 0 (slashing) -lower Natural armor - get rid of the LA first, Giant HD will make a melee char last longer than a char with LA.
