Cavern Troll
Level 6Attacks
Abilities
The caverrn troll takes a –4 circumstance penalty to their Perception DC against Deception checks.
Trigger The cavern troll takes acid or sonic damage
Effect The troll uses Throw Rock targeting a random enemy within their first range increment. If the cavern troll has persistent acid damage, they attempt a DC 15 flat to remove it.
If exposed to direct sunlight, a cavern troll immediately becomes Slowed 1 and can't use reactions. The slowed value increases by 1 each time the cavern troll ends its turn in sunlight. If the cavern troll's actions are reduced to 0 in this way, they become Petrified until they spends at least 1 minute in darkness. Spells like Sunburst that create magical sunlight can't petrify a cavern troll, but the troll is slowed 1 for after being exposed to such an effect.
Claw
A cavern troll can burrow through solid stone at a Speed of 10 feet. They can leave a tunnel if they desire.
Insatiable scavengers, cavern trolls stalk the eternal gloom of the Darklands, consuming all in their path—even rocks and minerals. These rocky goliaths can tunnel through stone with their iron-sharp claws. Despite a debilitating vulnerability to sunlight that petrifies them on sustained contact, hungry cavern trolls are often drawn to the comparatively lush surface world. Even when petrified, the immobile trolls are often mistaken for boulders or other natural phenomenon, leaving them free to hunt once night falls again. As cavern trolls age, their flinty skin becomes studded with small crystals and stones of various composition. Paragons of their kind have toothy maws replete with large crystalline fangs.
Towering brutes with slavering jaws and razor-sharp claws, trolls are voracious predators. A connection to the land not only rebuilds their bodies but creates countless varieties of trolls, each a reflection of the terrain that they draw upon. Trolls who migrate into new areas slowly transform as each body part is regenerated, leading to aberrant growth as new flesh tangles with the old.
