Jotund Trolls and Bite Attacks


Rules Questions


So it seems like Jotund trolls only get one bite attack per round, according to the text. Was this errataed or FAQed anywhere? Seems like a bit of an oversight, unless the intent is that only one head per round can reach a target, yes?

Or perhaps its solely a mechanical balance issue? Anyone know?


They have up to nine heads, so nine bites a round would be a lot, in terms of balance - in practical terms I would assume they just bite with the closest head, and unlike a hydra they don't have long necks to allow other heads to get close enough to bite as well.


Reminds me of this thread.


Yes, I'm assuming that it was done for balance purposes. I guess I was just so surprised to see it that I had to pop on here to confirm that it wasn't an error.
