Workbook of Cave Troll of Moria - Playtesting (Fellowship B)
(CARD IMAGE)
NAME = CAVE TROLL OF MORIA GENERAL = UTGAR SPECIES = TROLL UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON HERO CLASS = BRUTE PERSONALITY = FEROCIOUS SIZE/HEIGHT = LARGE/7? (double-spaced) LIFE = 6 MOVE = 4 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 4 DEFENSE = 2 POINTS = 90 CAVE DWELLER 2 If this Moria Cave Troll moves over at least three contiguous dungeon or shadow spaces, you may add an additional 1 space to his move. This Moria Cave Troll rolls 2 additional attack dice when attacking an adjacent figure or destructible object on at least one dungeon or shadow space. TOUGH When rolling defense dice against a normal attack, this Moria Cave Troll always adds 1 automatic shield to whatever is rolled. Character Bio: (taken from Tolkien Gateway) ". . . For the moment they are hanging back, but there is something else there. A great cave-troll, I think, or more than one. There is no hope of escape that way." ― Gandalf, The Bridge of Khazad-dûm A race of monstrous creatures found in caverns and dark places.The Cave-trolls are known from an encounter with the Fellowship of the Ring as they passed through Moria, but were evidently found elsewhere in Middle-earth, too. These trolls, along with Orcs and perhaps other creatures, were originally sent to inhabit Moria by Sauron some five hundred years before the War of the Ring. The cave-trolls of Moria were of huge size with a skin of dark green scales, and flat, toeless feet. The fact that Gandalf was able to recognise the creature he encountered in Moria specifically as a cave-troll strongly suggests that this appearance was shared by others of the kind. -RULINGS and CLARIFICATIONS- N/A -COMBINATIONS and SYNERGIES- Synergy Benefits Received Ornak - Red Flag of Fury Synergy Benefits Offered N/A Formerly known as capsocrates -- Remixed Master Sets - challenge yourself with new terrain combinations! -- Colorado Fall 2023 Multiplayer Madness -- caps's Customs Redux - caps's multiplayer maps - caps's maps - Seagate -- Continuing Classic Heroscape: C3V SoV Last edited by caps; July 10th, 2020 at 05:26 PM. |

Re: The Workbook of Cave Troll
I also agree the trolls should have Tough.

Re: The Workbook of Cave Troll
With that much armor I could even see 3 defense and tough, but that might be a bit hard to swallow.
Should they gave regeneration like Heroscape trolls?

Re: The Workbook of Cave Troll
Heroscape trolls are based off dnd trolls that do regenerate. Dnd is technically based off Lotr but I don recall anything in Tolkien stating that trolls regenerate. I'll do some research to see if that comes up.
Edit: Not finding any regeneration abilities in our source material, did find 7 kinds of trolls though lol. It wouldnt bother me if middle earth trolls had it, just dont think it needs to be forced if we have other ideas to throw on them |

Re: The Workbook of Cave Troll
Axegrinders have 3 Defense and Tough. Mogrimm has 2 Defense and Tough.
The Axegrinders have a life of 1, so a higher Defense makes sense. But I'd still like to see at least 3 Defense and Tough. Boromir's sword couldn't cut them. If we consider 3d printed trolls, they have some nice free ones: troll1 troll2 troll3 troll4 troll5 |

Re: The Workbook of Cave Troll
If we are doing standard Cave Troll from the Fellowship though, we shouldn't be thinking about the armor until later RotK or Hobbit maybe.

Re: The Workbook of Cave Troll
Axegrinders do not have Tough. No one in Classic has Tough and more than 2 defense that I'm aware of.

Re: The Workbook of Cave Troll
So, can we get a vote/confirmation on if we are doing armored cave trolls saving them for later? Ideally they'd be designed different. Though they would probably both have the tough ability.
