About the back stab. I’ve always preferred the version of back stab found in the D&D rule cyclopedia. The back stab itself is actually not a literal back stab, it’s actually more of a sucker punch that does more damage not just because it’s aimed at a vital point but it’s not being defended against, it’s all about catching the target by surprise.

I mean think about it this way… a fighter knows where to hit someone, probably better then a thief would but the fighter doesn’t get extra damage because a fighter doesn’t typically sucker punch someone. Also the thief is well aware that he/she is not a front liner and is not interested in an up front fight. So the thief is gonna do the next best thing, take someone out in one or two shots.

I’ve usually seen and used gnolls in combination with the other typical “evil” races such as goblinoids, orcs, ogres, etc, to essentially create an army. In fact a pretty good example of this are the two armies that appear in both Icewind Dale 2 and Baldur’s Gate 2. The majority of gnolls my not be to smart but that doesn’t mean their leaders aren’t. They have enough intelligence to act like a militant group of bandits.

The beaker itself has an XP value, I wouldn’t give XP for each potion it created.

Thanks DM Bill. Don’t worry, I don’t take stuff like that personally. If it constructive criticism, it’s no prob. Like I said before, even the wife says I ramble from time to time. Which is kinda funny, because there was this time…

Oh wait.

There I go again!

Anywho, glad you liked the show.

That’s a good idea, Bill.

I think we should do more examples of stuff. Thanks for the thought.

Yes Gnolls are more feral then goblins or orcs, way more animalistic they work in “wolf-like” packs, led by alpha males usually a more superior Flind…gnolls have disgusting manners sometimes eating prey alive without cooking them, eating carrion, opportunistic, vile, when they get pissed off they growl at eachother…a very different filler enemy then a goblin, hobgoblin, or orcs for sure..
