Gnolls are
hyena-headed, evil humanoids that wander in loose tribes. Most gnolls have dirty yellow or reddish-brown fur. A gnoll is a nocturnal carnivore, preferring intelligent creatures for food because they scream more. A gnoll is about 7-1/2 feet tall and weighs 300 pounds. Gnolls speak Gnoll.
Gnolls like to attack when they have the advantage of numbers, using horde tactics and their physical strength to overwhelm and
knock down their opponents. They show little discipline when fighting unless they have a strong leader; at such times, they can maintain ranks and fight as a unit. While they do not usually prepare
traps, they do use ambushes and try to attack from a
flanking position. Because of its
shield, a gnoll's modifier on
Hide checks (untrained) is -2, which means gnolls always take special care to seek favorable
conditions when laying ambushes (such as
darkness,
cover, or some other form of advantageous terrain).
Gnoll characters possess the following racial traits.
-Strength +4, Constitution +2, Intelligence -2, Charisma -2.
-Size Medium.
-A gnoll's base land
speed is 30 feet.
-Racial Hit
Dice: A gnoll begins with two levels of humanoid, which provide 2d8 Hit
Dice, a base

-Racial Skills: A gnoll's humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 5 x.(2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are
Listen and
Spot.
-Racial Feats: A gnoll's humanoid levels give it one feat.
- +1 natural armor bonus.
-Automatic Languages: Gnoll. Bonus Languages: Common, Draconic, Elven,
