Even though trolls are well known for their regenerative abilities, I was wondering how long-lived they can be, barring permanent death by fire/acid? I wouldn't think their abilities could stave off natural aging, or can they "re-youthen" themselves by hacking off a limb and allowing it to regrow (instead of reattachment)?
Its really a minor detail for me, but one i'm curious about.
Context: One of my villains is a VERY old troll shaman, from Siluvanede's last days, who has endured through time as a greenbound troll (LEoF template). He's gathered a circle of elder trolls from various tribes for support and is mustering a new horde.
A bit of research shows that there is an "ecology of the troll" article in dragon magazine #301, which I don't possess, so maybe some helpful sage can check that for me? |

Found it.
MC Vol. 1 Trolls live 100 years or more.
I would take it over 100 is a very old troll that will die soon from old age. |

I asked the same question in February I think. The discussion should be in Running the Realms, with Trolls aging as title.
Come to think of it, I wonder if there was a mention of the exact age in the old Monstrous Compendium or manual for 2ed. I will check and come back to you. |
