Troll
The Troll is one of the eight hero classes in Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer.
"Trolls are brute fighters of exceptional endurance and are the most physically tough of all the classes. Not only do they start with and gain the most hit points per level, but they are also the best at the regeneration skill. Trolls can use all weapons (though they tend to prefer maces and other blunt instruments, where they can eventually gain grand mastery). Additionally, they are limited to light armors (they can also achieve grandmastery in leather) and have no spell casting abilities."
Trolls start with 45 hit points, and gain 5 hit points per level. Trolls can't get spell points. Trolls also start with five water and body resistance.
