What? No Trog Gnome-Slayer?

Lizardfolk/Sahaughin/Kuo-toa got the gnome treatment. Trogs (Halflings) are a good enough proxy, so we'll focus on them and ignore Lizardfolk/Sahaughin/Kuo-toa (Gnome).

Hopefully, they will balance things out in the future. [:)]

But, like anything else, it's possible to have too much of a good thing. Too many Drow, too many dwarves, perhaps even too many Gnolls, and we're certainly to the point where I say "whoah" on the Trogs. For the time being. I'd like to see a few sets "off the Trog" since we've got our grunts, our elites, and a caster. The Barbarian could be used as a Rogueish type, so that's good.


Too many Gnolls? What? have you gone into the future of DDM or something? Correct me if I'm wrong, but up 'till now we have a basic Gnoll reprinted once, an archer, and a sergant. Thats nothing. 4, and one being a repaint.. compare that to the number of Orcs, Goblins, Drow, etc. MORE GNOLLS!



You forgot the Flind Captain and the Gnoll Skeleton, and we are getting a Demonic Gnoll Ranger in WotDQ. A gnoll adept and zombie is all I need for RPG to have pretty much all of the bases covered.


Oh, and an Aspect of Yeenoghu. To proxy for enlarged gnolls.

I said "perhaps it's possible [to have too many Gnolls]". Not that we DO have too many.

Personally, I'm looking for the Champion, Ranger (dual-wielder--we've already go tons of bow-gnolls), Monk, Rogue, Druid/Cleric type, Wizard/Sorcerer/Shaman type, another "grunt" level, and some Ravagers, Hyenadons or Dire Hyenas.

Depending on how long that takes, I'll start to actually consider us "overdone" on Gnolls.

But I still wouldn't bet on that happening.

Wouldn't there actually have to be gnomes used in skirmish before this ability had any point? I can't remember the last time I heard of or saw a gnome in skirmish. In fact, are they still even in D&D? [:D]

I'd like to see a gnoll with a sword or axe in each hand (or maybe a sword and an axe, one on each hand?).

I'd also like to see a gnoll dressed like a primitive shaman or druid.

A shoosuva (big undead hyena fiend servitor of Yeenoghu) would be nice too.

I like having a large number of representatives for a race. So, I am happy with the DDM trogs. I would say that I want even more, if that would not be unfair for other races.
