ABOUT

The cave, or greater troll, is similar to other trolls in basic appearance and hide color. However, the cave troll is slightly larger and has a thicker and more muscular build. The greater troll stands 10 feet tall. The greater troll oozes a sticky substance from its skin that retards flame.

Cave trolls can attack with their natural weapons but are more likely to use a large two-handed weapon suited to their size, such as clubs, spiked clubs, hammers, etc.

They possess all the standard abilities of regular trolls. The hide of a cave troll is so thick, that non-magical small-sized ranged attacks such as arrows, sling stone, and crossbow bolts, have no effect.
