D&D 4E My First Scoop - info on 4e Gnolls! [Morrus, is this news worthy?!]

[kennew142]

I love Gnolls and I think they're underused.

My expectations will be absurdly high.

Me too. Gnolls are the main humanoid bad guys in my upcoming 4e campaign.

I've got artwork! Behold, the 4E Gnoll!!

Look to add to the scoop I found some of its powers in a playtest document!!!

Ranged Irresistible Trans Fat(minor 1/round; at-will) • Charm, Processed Food
Range 10; affects one opponent of lower level than the Devil Dog; the target immediately slides up to 5 squares and consumes unhealthy levels of processed fat, suffering 2d10+5 processed sugar damage to his arteries.

Infernal Yummy (standard; encounter) • Conjuration
The Devil Dog summons a group of snack cake allies. Summoned cakes roll initiative to determine when they act in the initiative order and gain a +4 bonus to attack rolls as long as the Devil Dog is uneaten. They remain until they are eaten, dismissed by the Devil Dog (free action), or the encounter ends. PCs do not earn weight watchers points for killing these summoned cakes. The Devil Dog chooses to summon one of the following groups of cakes:

* 8 rich frosted donuts (level 21), or
* 2 chocolate swirl yodels (level 22), or
* 1 deep fried twinkie (level 22) and 4 sugarcoated coffee cakes (level 21)

I thought Doresain was the patron of Ghouls...I might have misspelled that.

They're one and the same.

I had gnolls as ancestral ennemies of the catfolk race in my prototype of a game world... They oppose since the paleolithic; the catfolk may have became humane, or the gnolls degenrate...

I like this.
