Regeneration 40 (Deactivated by Electricity or Fire)

Furious Roar ⟲ Trigger The jotund troll takes electricity or fire damage

Effect The jotund troll uses their Cacophonous Roar and, if they're aware of the damage's source, can Stride toward it. If the jotund troll has persistent fire damage, they attempt a DC 15 Flat to remove it.

Head Regrowth A jotund troll's regeneration can regrow severed heads. After regaining Hit Points from regeneration, the jotund troll attempts a DC 8 Flat. On a success, one missing head is fully restored; on a critical success, two missing heads are fully restored. If a jotund troll loses their last remaining head, they die immediately.

Reactive Heads A jotund troll gains an extra reaction per round for each of their heads beyond the first, which they can use only to make Reactive Strikes with their jaws or to Fast Swallow. They can't use more than 1 reaction for the same triggering action, even if a creature leaves several squares within their reach, and must use a different head for each Reactive Strike. Whenever one of the jotund troll's heads is severed, the troll loses 1 of their extra reactions per round.

Melee ◆ claw +29 (agile, reach 15 feet), Damage 3d10+14 slashing

Cacophonous Roar ◆ (auditory, emotion, incapacitation, mental, occult, primal) The jotund troll roars from all their heads, mystically distorting the listener's mind. Each non-troll creature in a 100-foot emanation must attempt a DC 34 Will save.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 24 hours.

Success The creature is Stupefied 1 for 1 round.

Failure The creature is Stupefied 2 for 1 round.

Critical Failure The creature is Confused for 1 round.

Fast Swallow ⟲ Trigger The jotund troll Grabs a creature with their jaws

Effect The troll uses Swallow Whole.

Ravenous Jaws ◆◆ The jotund troll makes a number of jaws Strikes up to their number of heads, each against a different target. These attacks count toward the troll's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until after the jotund troll makes all of these attacks.

Rend ◆ Claw

Swallow Whole ◆ (attack) Medium, 3d12+8 bludgeoning, Rupture 36

Grab ◆
