Playbook: The Troll (PBtA)
 |
Strong and tough¸ you can easily hurl objects and creatures about¸ and shrug off blows and effects that would fell or cripple lesser creatures. The only thing you fear is the sun's light: it will gradually turn you to stone¸ but until then you can benefit from it in a variety of ways (just be sure to find some cover before it's too late).
You start by choosing from several troll types¸ and your advanced moves allow for further customization: become stronger¸ tougher¸ throw things further and harder¸ literally shake the ground¸ blend in with your surroundings¸ recover more quickly by gorging yourself¸ then barf it all up on your enemies¸ wake and command boulders¸ and more!
There's also some new gear¸ a troll magician compendium class in case you want more magical abilities¸ extra troll types¸ moves (including a variant on the sunlight vulnerability starting move)¸ alignment options¸ bonds¸ and a more mythologically accurate troll stat block (including ways to customize it).
This product contains three files.
The first is a letter-sized character sheet that uses our new character sheet layout (so we could fit the twenty-nine advanced moves on the back).
The other two are digest-sized PDFs¸ one in color¸ the other in black and white to make it easier to print at home. They both contain:
- The troll class (which includes 29 advanced moves).
- New weapons¸ armor (including advice on armor for large and huge creatures)¸ dungeon gear¸ and a magic item.
- The troll magician compendium class (8 moves in total)
- Four extra moves we couldn't fit on the sheet
- A Director's Cut with questions to ask yourself when rolling up a troll¸ explanations/clarifications for some of the moves¸ and all the other extra stuff mentioned above
