Homebrew Blessed Gnoll Species Details

A New Race Dawns

Blessed Gnolls from early on show signs of being considerably larger and stronger than other pups their age. often the leaders of the tribe see them as threats to the balance of power and try to control, exile, or kill them young. Blessed Gnolls are unique in the fact their souls are not of Gnoll's but rather reincarnated from other races allowing them to shake off the title of monster and try and find their place in the world of the free and kind.  

Large And Powerful

Blessed Gnolls are humanoids that stand roughly 8-10ft tall and weigh somewhere between 350-475 lbs. The shape of their body can be best summarized as long-limbed and bulky, with spindly forelimbs that reach their knees and stout tree-trunk-like legs that support their large size. their heads are shaped much like hyenas with a shorter muzzle only an inch or two long. They have a short bristly tail that helps them maintain their balance when moving at speed. Their fur coat can come in a wide array of patterns and colors.

Stretching luxuriously in the early morning sun's rays, Stone-Blade's first of his name slowly comes to wakefulness to the soft feel of hay on his back the smell of leather and horses. After taking a long glug from the bucket of water he filled the night before bedding down in the Tavern's stable, He steps outside ducking his head on the way out. he makes light-hearted conversation with his dwarven party member as he puts on his leather armor and skirts animatedly debating who got the most kills in the last battle. Stone-blade makes sure one final time all his equipment is snug in its sack before grabbing the monstrous long sword he left out the night before safe in the fact none but him could pick it up to its weight with ease. Joining up with the rest of the group outside on the Stone blade and company set off all smiles and jokes despite the townspeople giving a wide-berth. 

 

Curiosity Of The Young. 

Blessed Gnoll's are a new race in most settings only just now starting to make an appearance, this young carefree race is driven by a grand curiosity of all things that may be and suffer from wanderlust never satisfied with settling down. Morally they align with neutrality best wanting most of all to follow their own dreams and aspirations without anyone else sticking their nose in. Blessed gnolls are religiously diverse and often find themselves worshipping many different gods as they see fit. When two Gnoll's encounter each other on the road they may form a pack wander together these packs can range from as small as two to as large as twenty-four with many different families coming together for protection and community as they travel. 

Blessed Gnoll names follow a very simple naming system male names end with the suffix "us" and often have no last name whilst female names end in "ix" or "ia" and have a family name that their daughters can claim linage from
