I am curious as to how other DMs run trolls in their campaigns, you can use any forum approved version of D&D. I provide the original OD&D description as a point of reference:

The OD&D troll is described as follows:

TROLLS: Thin and rubbery, loathsome Trolls are able to regenerate, so that beginning the third melee round after one is hit it will begin to repair itself. Regeneration is at the rate of 3 Hit points per turn. Even totally sundered Trolls will regenerate eventually, so that unless they are burned or mmersed in acid they will resume combat when they have regenerated to 6 or more hit points. In strength they are about equal to an Ogre, but as they use only their talons and fangs for weapons, only one die of damage is scored when they hit an opponent.

What kind of tweaks, changes, additions, subtraction or flavor enhancements do you use, if any? What inspired the changes?
