[QUOTE=Tengu] Burning Trolls is the only way to actually get past their Regeneration…so good call! [/QUOTE] A couple of years ago our DM built a troll with the Infernal template and several levels of Ranger - a stealthy, _fireproof_ troll. We kept on hacking it to pieces and burning the corpse, and it kept right on sneaking up behind us. Eventually, we ended up feeding it to a kraken. ---

It’s not a turtle, it’s a _tortoise_. Maybe they look similar but they are not the same. The answer to everything is “42” not “turtle egg”. Although there has been some speculation that the answer may actually be “Rio by Duran Duran”. You are never going to get on Jeopardy at this rate. _sheesh_ (why do I suddenly want soup?) ---
