Reply to Glen:
Trolls "usually have gray skin, often mottled with other shade,
such as orange or green." Elder Races Book, p. 54. I realize that the
illustrations in Elder Secrets and Troll Gods are so ugly that they actually
deter people from using them, but one can always place something over them;
the rest of the books are somewhat useful.
Another thought about Damage Resistance:
Criticals penetrate "magical armor." Damage Resistance is not magical
armor. It's a spell that protects the target's body by forcing damage to
overcome the spell's intensity. The spell description does not restrict the
type of damage. That doesn't mean that the target is immune to falls and cold,
etc. It just means that the target will freeze to death slower, may survive a
fall from just about any height, might not take damage the first round he falls
into the pit of acid or lava or what have you--but the damage will eventually
get to him. And even a fist attack will succeed 20% of the time against a DR8.
A critical with an arrow will succeed 95% of the time. So why crock an already
crocked spell?
