Hit Dice. Player character flinds receive hit dice by class.
Alignment. Flinds tend toward lawful evil. PC flinds may be of any alignment, but are usually lawful neutral.
Natural Armor Class. 10.
Background. Flinds appear similar to gnolls, though they are shorter and broader. The average flind stands feet tall. They are more muscular than regular gnolls, and usually stronger. Short brown and red fur covers their bodies, and their ears are more rounded than the gnolls.
Flinds are looked upon with awe by gnolls, revered as leaders and heroes by the hyenalike humanoids. Otherwise, they have the same lifestyle as gnolls, except that they are not as chaotic. Flinds tend to get along with ores, hobgoblins, bugbears, and ogres, but dislike and will not cooperate with trolls.
Languages. Flind, gnoll, orc, hobgoblin, bugbear, ogre, common.
Role-Playing Suggestions. If any type of gnoll is likely to become a player character, it is the flind. As they are already looked upon as heroes by their gnoll cousins, some flinds reject their evil natures to become heroes in the larger world. A rare few even become lawful good.
Flind PCs believe themselves to be very special. All of the reverence heaped upon them by the gnolls throughout their lives gives them a sense of worth not displayed often in humanoid cultures. They exhibit the same bestial urges as their gnoll cousins, but they can control them with less difficulty.
Special Advantages. A flind can use a flindbar to disarm an opponent. A hit requires an opponent to save vs. wands. A failed save means the weapon is entangled and ripped from the opponent's grasp.
Special Disadvantages. None
Monstrous Traits. Appearance, bestial habits.
Superstitions. Like gnolls, flinds hold a special reverence for the moon and its phases.
