I think the barbarian with a little reskinning is what you could use for your Gnoll Marauder Class.I dont know for sure about mixing in Defender style attacks in a Striker (A reflavored fighter's Reaping Strike is a reliable barrage of focused attacks), but they mix in striker elements in some defender classes so thats not so bad.The barbarian has a howling strike that deals [w] + d6 + Str and does not provoke anything you can picture the Gnoll blocking the enemies attacks with his spear or fending them off and using his long jaws and 7 foot reach to snatch a bite [2d6] + Str is fine, if you like the implications of being a bit vulnerable I would make it "If not holding a weapon" you grant your enemies combat advantage for the next turn. Sort of a penalty for the advantage of being able to use it when you don't have a weapon in hand.Have you looked at the Race in the Dragon Magazine or Better yet downloaded the freebie version of Character builder.<a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/insider/characterbuilder" target="_blank">D&D Character Builder</a>Im not sure I like the races +2 Con with +2 Dex... the dex just doesnt fit the way I see the Gnolls 7' tall say strength! but maybe it connects with giving them the 7 movement rate.)The barbarians Rageblood Vigor gives a Swift Charge Ability and when your opponent is reduced to zero hp you get a boost of temporary hit points.The other option if you would prefer a more defendery type is the battlerager... I am way too fond of the battlerager  (from Martial Powers its a figher build that focus's on temporary hitpoints and even few attacks which inspire fear) Anyway there is some first thoughts.</blockquote>
