Troll Slayer!

Trollslayers! Warriors of unweilding valiancy, seekers of the ancient race called Trolls. A Trollslayer's motivation generally derives from the pure bloodlust in the killing of these such creatures, although on occasion a Trollslayer's vengeance lies deep within his soul and his passion for destroying these foul beings can be attributed to a personal experience. Such as remembering a Troll which killed a family member or close friend. Whatever the influence, Trollslayer's spend their entire careers training with weapons and armors which are specially crafted in such fashion to absorb a Trolls blows and to end confrontations between such creatures and themselves as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Preferred armors consist of double thick studded leather, spiked chainmail and if available spiked splintmail. These armors allow the troll slayer quick movement, yet still offer superior protection. Weaponry used may include anything from special halberds, to shrade swords, or perhaps magical weapons which endow fire, such as a flame tongue sword.

Trollslayer's often find themselves hard up for money. Such things are generally squandered away with little thought. Monetary is earned through the selling of a Troll's blood which more than often brings 3 doses per Troll, with a total value ranging up to 400 gp. Otherwise Trollslayer's find making a living somewhat difficult and when times are hard they can often be found hiring themselves out as mercenary's. Trollslayer's make for a highly adventurous character class and quite often are chosen by new players to the game. Their skills and passion for life drive them to success, while their endurance and nimble combat tactics keep them alive.
