Alright so I was talked out of playing a Cave Troll, pity it would be so awesome.
Instead as a compromise I am taking on a Orc with the Half-Troll Template.
Now I am playing in a gestalt game if anyone recalls.
Well with the +6 to Con I think taking the Scarred Witch Doctor on one side would be beneficial.
But I was also thinking of taking Ranger on the other side. My CR is increased by 2 from the Template.
So it would be CR 2/Ranger 1//Scarred Witch Doctor 3 if we began at level 3.
We are allowing CR buy off, using the LA Buy Off rules, so at level 6, he would gain another level of ranger and lose one of his CR and at level 9 he would fully becomes a Ranger 9//Witch Doctor 9.
Well with Racial and Template I am looking at a +10 to Str, +2 to Dex, +6 to Con, -4 to Int, -2 Wis, -4 Cha.
So the 6+Int helps give him at least some skill points.
the d10 for HD is nice because it means this witch cannot be so easily squished.
I was thinking of style focusing on Natural Weapons as I gain a Bite and 2 Claws, along with Rend from the template.
Basically the idea is of this Witch Doctor who if someone is fool enough to get close to, can rip their throats out.
I need help picking up Hexes, Gear, and Which Spells.
