    I would have to disagree there. If your playing a high level evil campaign Trolls make excellent warriors, and even better Barbarians.

    If your a DM with a high level party that's getting a little too big for it's britches, a Troll with levels in barbarian is a good way to knock them down a few pegs. The looks on people's faces when you tell them the Troll rages is absolutely priceless. :eek:

    Trolls don't have to be chaotic, you know. There's no reason that a Troll raised in, say, a bugbear monestary couldn't become a monk. In fact, a troll or a creature of any other particularly chaotic monster race who desires to be lawful could actually be attracted to the monastic lifestyle as a means of controlling its own chaotic tendencies.

    If a Troll monk were to be added to the game, it would likely need to be woven from whole cloth rather than pasted over an existing troll. I just don't see any of the trolls you deal with in game as "lawful".

    There are other types of giants than Hill Giants of which have alignments other than CE.

    ---> Giants in D&D <--- click there

    [EDIT] And, they are not just bigger and have more HD and a higher CR, they are smarter and cast spells, too.
