If that troll hunter had taken levels in barbarian instead of ranger, it would have 6d8+6d12 hit dice if it had taken levels in wizard (as poor a choice as that would be), it would have 6d8+6d4.Ī creature with no racial hit dice, like elf or tibbit, must have at least one level in at least one class, because no creature can have zero hit dice. A troll has six hit dice just because it’s a troll, even with no class levels. The basic troll has no class levels it has only racial hit dice. Note that the basic troll is not a “troll warrior,” but just a troll.
