[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9553792, member: 4534"] Ditto. I don't hate gnolls, but they fill the same niche as orcs, so what use did I have for them in most campaign settings? In the next scenario for my campaign, I decided to have two warring orc factions with one wanting to ally itself with Greyhawk and the other wanting to continue with business as usual. Some gnolls have moved into the area and want both orc groups to toe the line, but the one still wants to ally with Greyhawk, so the PCs are going to have to do something to make sure that happens. Otherwise there's going to be an annoying threat not too far to the west of the city. One of the pack lords sent to get the orcs in line is [USER=6779196]@Charlaquin[/USER], who also has some bard levels. Naturally she sings Ke$ha songs to inspire her cackle to deviant heights and cause fear among her enemies. (And just so we're clear, Charlaquin is a lovely lady who probably wouldn't crack open my bones to sup upon the marrow.) Whenever you tell me that I'm pretty/ That's when the hunger really hits me/ Your little heart goes pitter patter/ I want your liver on a platter/ It's been a while since I sang to my D&D players. Last time I tried engaging in a rap battle but they ended up throwing hands instead of lyrics. I think just about any intelligent creature in D&D can be fun if you just try to think of something creative to do with them. One of the things I really liked about Baludr's Gate 3 is how much personality goblins and others had. Even the ogres had some personality. [/QUOTE]
