oh, gnoll characters! There's one I've wanted to play for a while where the story is, in trying to get more power in her own pack the character goes to make a pact with a demon/devil as gnolls sometimes do but instead finds another more interesting power and makes a pact with a Great Old One. The influence is enough to snap her out of the constant hunger and fiendish influence and after realizing that things don't have to be the way they are and sets off on a crusade to free all gnolls
Very interesting. With all the recent support for the Great Old Ones in D&D I hadn’t considered their influence on such a devoted race. But I love the idea!
The Great Old Ones ask for devotion and sacrifice just like Neeoghu and the other Demon Princes, but are more secretive and intelligent about their designs. I also like the idea of a Great Old One having a more attractive image than the Gnoll’s “perfect warrior” image of Neeoghu.
Thanks for sharing! I hope to hear more about your Gnoll’s adventures in the future!
