Tenebral trolls are grey skinned giant trolls created by magical rituals to aid dark gods. They live in ruins, sewers and under large bridges, and are often employed by tribes of lesser trolls as guards to their lairs; even though tenebral trolls take the odd troll for food.

Tenebral trolls prefer human beings, or dwarves, or other trolls, as food and dislike eating fey.

Powers

 

Shadow Cloak. The troll has an innate power that is similar to the spell Midnight.   It can wrap itself in shadows to improve its ability to Hide by + 10% per Magic Point spent, up to + 40%.

Shadow Shift. The troll may enfold itself in a shadow and teleport to another shadow further away in line of sight. It may do this POW/4 times a day. This ability does not cost Magic points.

 

 

Weakness

 

When its body is fully exposed to direct sunlight a tenebral troll must make a Stamina roll halved (and rounded down), once per round, or be permanently turned to stone. Direct sunlight on a limb, for instance, is painful to the troll but does not incur this Stamina roll.

Would the trolls stamina roll be required per round, minute, hour or just once?

With reguard to direct sunlight...

Be kinda neat to create a manual of Monsters based on user creations.

The skills for the monster are a bit low, but can be beefed up to suit a party of beefy PCs. The Troll makes a Stamina roll once per round when exposed fully to direct sunlight.

This is a conversion of the Bridge Troll from the Ravagers of the Realms book (a Mongoose publication for the Dungeons and Dragons third edition rules).
