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).
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.
ReplyDeleteI'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?
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.
