Combat
Gnolls like to attack when they have the advantage of numbers, using horde tactics and their physical strength to overwhelm and knock down their opponents. They show little discipline when fighting unless they have a strong leader; at such times, they can maintain ranks and fight as a unit. Most gnolls leaders possess a special ability called Heroic Howl, which is essentially an AOE version of Greater Heroism that only effects gnolls.
