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.

Rampage

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.
