What do you think? I understand thee might be some alignment issues here.

Second, to answer your question, a burning troll is like someone who got COMPLETELY drenched in gas and oil, then set on fire. there may not be anything left to eat. That's just my interpretation of it.
#3 wordserpent Feb 09, 2009 21:12:51	Well I wasn't sure which category it would go under since it is mostly nonsense. But as for your burning troll statement, you don't actually burn the troll see, you just render it immobile, say with a hold monster spell, and carve it up and can the pieces before they can grow, then when you are hungry...

#6 wordserpent Feb 09, 2009 21:46:36	Hmm grow inside you, but wouldn't your stomach acids defeat the regeneration? And I know they probably taste awful, but what about troll meat as survival rations? Proper seasoning might also help troll go down easier. And maybe it could be an acquired taste?
#7 RUMPLESTIX Feb 09, 2009 21:47:35	Is there a difference with 4th edition trolls? 3rd edition could be killed by fire or acid, I believe. So, your stomach acid should take care of them. Come to think of it, there is also some acid in vomit. Could you run trolls off by puking on them?
#8 baneofelves Feb 09, 2009 21:50:17	Yes.
#9 fenrir7139 Feb 09, 2009 21:57:33	I think I remember something about carrion eaters and wolves and such eating trolls, only to die a gruesome death as a new one grew in their bowels. I don't know if stomach acid would be strong enough...
#10 wordserpent Feb 09, 2009 22:21:26	Stomach acid is some pretty powerful stuff. I think it has a pH of 1.
#11 pigknight Feb 09, 2009 22:27:01	Ever wonder what everlasting rations really are?

Proper seasoning might also help troll go down easier. And maybe it could be an acquired taste? Must be the reason for both 3.5 and 4e having either cantrips for making food taste better of cheap magic items. (don't know of earlier but i am sure they had them as well)
#13 pigknight Feb 09, 2009 22:41:51	Isn't eating an intelligence creature EVIIIIIL!?
#14 rambaldi Feb 09, 2009 22:47:26	Who said you have to be good plus the smarter the brain the better it tastes lol
#15 Ramien Feb 09, 2009 23:48:21	Isn't eating an intelligence creature EVIIIIIL!? Yes, but we're talking about trolls here. Just based on the evidence of their internet cousins, intelligence isn't an issue.
#16 mnemonicsv Feb 10, 2009 5:13:25	I've often wondered if troll self-cannibalism could ever occur. You know, some troll gets trapped by a cave-in... starts running out of food... I bet his own arm might start looking tasty after a while. Not only would it grow back, but... well... I guess it can't be fattening since it came from him in the first place. I also wonder... do Scrags count as seafood?
