Flind - My Edition

Flinds are relatives of gnolls, sometimes found as leaders of gnoll bands. Most use a club; 25% percent wield a flindbar, a pair of chain-linked iron bars that can attack twice and disarm opponents...

Flind

DEX 12, WIL 14, 5hp
- Flindbar (d6, make a Dex save or be disarmed)
  • A well built people with feliform features, known for their keen smell and knowledge of herbs.
  • Always carry a collection of various roots, remedies, teas, and pipestuff about them.
  • Prefer to disarm and frighten assailants and enemies.
Although tending to avoid their own kind and travel alone, Flind are quite gregarious, especially when given a chance to discuss herblore. It is indeed rare to meet a Flind who doesn't at least have a passing knowledge of the subject (though there are certainly those who have other interests).

  1. These are fun as humanoid encounters go, compact, I like the emphasis on how they treat their enemies in a way that isn't fighting to the death on sight.

    I'm no gygaxian exegesist but I think traditionally flinds were like demonic super-gnolls. If that's the case what made you move away from that for your take?

    1. Found 'em a bit boring to be honest, just 'gnolls but stronger' so I took the bits I liked, the Flindbar, the hyena relation, and made it my own thing.
