[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 6479596, member: 2039"] Hi, Written for one of the pregens I created for the Parsantium adventure I ran at Dragonmeet, here are my 5e gnoll stats: [B]GNOLL[/B] Not all gnolls are demon-worshipping fiends like the feral packs who roam the Great Grass Sea to the east of Parsantium. Many of the desert-dwelling gnolls of Khemit and Aqhran have long made a living from their favourite activity – violence and killing – by working as sellswords. When Aqhrani traders first came to Parsantium, some brought gnoll bodyguards with them, and a minority of Parsantium’s population has been made up of gnolls ever since. More recently, a number of gnoll mercenaries in Kalgroth Ironheart’s army defected to the side of the crusaders led by Corandias the Stubborn, and stayed on in the city as part of the Parsantine army once the fighting was over. In recent years their numbers have been swelled by more barbarians arriving from the steppes. Like the half-orcs, gnolls are part of the city’s underclass, but while the former strive to become respectable, gnolls stay true to their savage heritage, finding employment as hired enforcers, bodyguards, bouncers and thugs, and often getting mixed up in crime by throwing their lot in with the gangs controlled by the Hidden Quarter’s Boss of All Bosses. Most of Parsantium’s gnolls have abandoned worship of Okkidor in favour of Martek or the Sampuran battle god Indra. Some gnoll adventurers serve the Basileus or the Caliph of Aqhran; others even work for the sinister Mummy, Queen Merytnofru, who plots to bring glory to the long-buried kingdom of Khemit. Those who still remain loyal to their bloodthirsty roots may follow the Grand Khan of the Gnolls who haunts the Silk Road. [B]GNOLL TRAITS[/B] [B][I]Ability score increase.[/I][/B] Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

[B][I]Languages.[/I][/B] You can speak, read and write Bathuran (Common), the guttural, demonic-sounding Gnoll tongue and either Aqhrani or Tiangaon. Feedback welcome! Cheers Rich [/QUOTE]
