We spent some time last week at the Morton Arboretum and went on a troll hunt.
Here they are for two similar systems; B/X Essentials and Blueholme Journeymanne Rules.
Wood Trolls are intelligent and remarkably passive creatures for the most part. They stand anywhere from 9' to 16' tall (with some rare cases of 30' tall varieties). Their skin and hair appear to be made up of wood. Their skin is hard inflexible and their hair looks like twigs and sticks.
Wood Trolls, as their name implies, live in deep woods. They try to avoid other creatures when possible. Wood Trolls are often thought to be the more malevolent Earth Troll. These trolls tend to be less evil than other trolls. 50% of these trolls are Chaotic Neutral in alignment, 30% are of the chaotic good variety and the remaining 20% are chaotic evil.
These trolls prefer to eat wild pigs with only the evil ones resorting to eating children.
Like all trolls they can regenerate, likewise they are also vulnerable to fire. Moreso than other trolls; taking double damage from fire.

I have started adding dexterity scores to all my monsters that I make for Holes/Blueholme. Do you individualize dex scores for monsters?
