Gnolls only lightly adorn themselves with jewelry and the like. Much like their armor, gnoll weapons are a mishmash of collected swords, spears, flails, and other weapons gnolls can easily wield. Gnolls wear whatever armor they scavenge, steal, or force slaves to fashion, so they often have mismatched pieces of varying quality they use for protection. All gnolls have guttural voices when they normally speak, but, as gnolls become stressed or excited, their voices reach higher pitches and sound like manic laughter. A gnoll has sharp, piercing teeth that allow them to rip meat from the bone of their or other creatures’ kills, but their teeth and jaws are not strong enough to provide them a bite attack in combat. Gnolls have forward-facing ears atop their heads and short, furry tails. Gnolls’ upper body structures are similar to their apparent hyenidae relatives, which gives the bipedal gnolls a somewhat hunched appearance but also gives them their powerful build, which tapers down to their lithe lower bodies. Their legs have a hyena-like structure, with their high anklebones making their legs, which end in blunt, non-retractable claws, appear to have a weird bend. They have coarse fur and coloration similar to that of either striped or spotted hyenas, depending on the gnoll tribe. Physical Description: Gnolls are impressively built creatures standing anywhere from 6 to 7 feet tall and typically weighing 250 pounds. To many civilizations, gnolls are notorious slavers or despicable killers, and settlements neighboring gnoll territories have numerous tales of such gnoll exploits. While they are physically powerful, gnolls are also lazy and cowardly, so they avoid entering melee with other creatures, unless the gnolls know they have some advantage over their foes. Much like the hyenas they resemble, gnolls prefer to wait for others to complete a task, and then the gnolls sweep in to benefit from the others’ labor. Gnolls are an opportunistic race of humanoids who prefer to scavenge rather than actively hunt they happily reap the rewards of others’ hard work. 1 This category includes barbarians, oracles, rogues, and sorcerers.Ģ This category includes cavaliers, fighters, gunslingers, paladins, rangers, summoners, and witches.ģ This category includes alchemists, clerics, druids, inquisitors, magi, monks, and wizards.
