[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 9142139, member: 6701124"] Where were they said to be playable in 5e? It doesn't seem like it was in Volo (and I double checked the errata to see if this was a change): Pg. 33 - "As creatures that spran up in the wake of a demon lord, gnolls are creatures of savage blood lust, incapable of any other impulse. They are extensions of Yeenoghu's will." The note on roleplaying one (presumably as an NPC?) has: Pg. 36 - "Gnolls have little variation in personality and outlook. They are collectively an elemental force, driven by a demon lord to spread death and destruction." And even though they are listed as humanoid in Volo and the monster manual, the descriptions seem to fit the reclassification. Here are some from the 1st printing of the 5e MM: Pg. 52 - "Gnolls are [Yeenoghu's] moral isntruments, and he drives them to ever-greater atrocities in his name" Pg. 161 - "The gnools then scattered across the face of the world, a dire reminder of demonic poser... They attack like a plague of locusts... They don't make weaons or armor, but scavenge... No Goodness or compassion resides in the heart of the gnoll. ... Even the most savage orcs avoid allying with gnolls." [/QUOTE]
