[QUOTE="Gorg, post: 9540529, member: 7029501"] Well, we hooked another one!!! My friend found a Starter kit boxed set at Wally World, and gave it to his gf's 12 year old for Christmas. Boy was he excited! Can't wait to get a game going. SUCCESS! As for me, I spent the day poring over Volo's, researching gnolls, Orcs, and goblins- looking for a nasty surprise to pull on my players. I was hoping to find a way to add spellcaster levels to a Gnoll, but after reading the fluff, I had other ideas: just put together a Gnoll warband, and send them out on a rampage. Either as an unlucky encounter when wandering about, or as a mission given to deal with a threat to a town. in the process, they stumble upon the REAL adventure. Loved the random tables to put together a warband, complete with friends. I rolled up a 48 member band, inc a war leader, 2 hunters, two fangs, 2 flesh gnawers, 24 gnolls, 16 hyenas, and a troll. A pretty stout challenge for anyone, lol. Nasty, how they can cannibalize their own- and create undead from their bones. even nastier, how they can create new gnolls out of the corpses of their enemies, and a hyena. My friend suggested a Tiefling Warlock, with gnoll heritage, instead of human, and a demon patron- like Demogorgon. Just in case I wanted a spellcasting BBEG. I'm now kinda interested in getting the new Monster Manual- just to see how they upped the ante! [/QUOTE]
