[QUOTE="Hamarul, post: 3701371, member: 54519"] I've always envisioned gnolls as, hyena-like scavengers and thugs. If one Gnoll warlord managed to create order amongst the rabble and organize them into a force to be reckoned with, then, through strength in numbers, they would be able to force other monsters to join their cause perhaps. For artillery, their army could have squads of gnoll ranger/fighters armed with composite longbows (To take advantage of their natural brute force) and perhaps they could have forced/tempted/persuaded a group a giants to their cause, most likely hill giants, who would be the heavy artillery, throwing great rocks at their enemies from long distances. Other Ideas for heavy artillery would be , crude catapults/trebuchets/ballistas. For melee heavy hitters, once again you could make use of giant allies, or even cooler, and possibly better, elite gnoll cavalry, riding on wargs or dire wolves. Make them level 4-6 Fighter/Barbarian and arm them with lances or spears and decent armor and they'll be able to pack quite a punch. [/QUOTE]
