Homebrew Gnoll Race Details
Whether firmly under Yeenoghu’s influence or making their living in a less violent society, gnolls can be best described as aggressive, furry powerhouses. They can range anywhere from aggressively friendly, aggressively dogmatic, aggressively unimpressed, and just about any state of being you can stick ‘aggressive’ in front of.
Gnoll Traits
Gnolls share certain racial traits as a result of their abyssal descent.Ability Score Increase
Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Dexterity score increases by 1.
Age
Depending on how the gnoll was brought into being, age can vary wildly. Gnolls born naturally will reach adulthood at around the age of 15 and live slightly shorter lives than humans. On the other hand, gnolls created from adult hyenas following war bands will have already reached adulthood, and will generally live to their 30s.
Alignment
Gnolls under Yeenoghu’s influence tend to be chaotic or neutral evil, while gnolls integrated into other communities have a broader set of morals, usually erring on the chaotic side of things.
Size
Gnolls tend to be over 7 feet tall. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Bite
Your bite counts as a natural weapon and thus can be used to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on your turn, you may use a bonus action to move up to half your speed and make a bite attack.
Menacing
You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
Languages
You speak, read, and write Common and Gnoll, and can understand Abyssal though you can’t communicate in it.
