I have to say that when you are statted as a troll or something else with overwhelming strength stat its a constant challenge to remember your rip out counts. (almost as hard as it is for someone to count looting appropriately). that said as a reminder the green masks with tufts of hair are trolls the green masks with long pointed noses and ears are goblins and bald green with tusks are orcs. don't waste nature spells on trolls use elemental fire, saps, psionics. repeatedly encountering one type of enemy your character isn't able to handle shouldn't be overly surprising in my book, talk to some martial characters about how much they like thresholds or things swinging massive in mods or just undead in general... of all the things i played last event only the trolls and a derpy treant were strong enough to rip out of any kind of nature magic.
But he is absolutely right, count them out like you were counting your pc's death count. its very important to remember as an npc that you are seldom there to win. when i was playing a big bad troll on the last mod i was miffed with drakkon at first then i had to take a step back and realize, the ward stone dump was a good strategy and theres nothing my troll could do except get frusterated and push the stabby man away.
