Game stats[edit]

I'll correct my article myself as soon as I have time. -- newbie

Do we really need all the game stats for this animal? That's assuming the stats are not copyright. DJ Clayworth 20:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trolls are OGL, their stats are available for free display. I think the Warcraft reference is a bit fetched though. If any MMO was to be used the Everquest trolls are a closer copy to the D&D ones (fire weakness, regeneration, appearance)

I think including the stats for RPG creatures is beyond the scope of Wikipedia. I think a link to the SRD page [1] would be sufficient.--Robbstrd 14:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Issues[edit]

Quite a bit of this material was straight from the System Reference Document. Contrary to the above poster, this material is not "available for free display:" it is instead subject to an open license whose terms include duplication of that license agreement in full (which wasn't happening and doesn't seem likely for Wikipedia). --Stellmach 19:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete references[edit]

Place incomplete, unformatted, & erroneous references here, & remove them from this section when correct.--Robbstrd 23:44, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Various. Dragon Compendium, Volume 1 (Paizo Publishing, 2005).

Various. Monster Manual III (Wizards of the Coast, 2004).

I was unable to find any published source at all for the blood troll and slime troll; can the existence of these two varieties be confirmed by anyone? I'll keep looking, and if I find them, I'll put them in. Edit: The slime troll is illustrated in Dragon 301, but has no stats at all that I can see; if stats haven't been published for a creature, does it canonically exist?
