Special Abilities
Gnoll Huntmaster
Gnoll Huntmasters are the most wide-ranging, adventurous, and sneakiest of the common Gnolls. They are the ones who scout new lands, find new victims, and supply the pack with fresh meat and slaves, in whatever order seems most convenient.
- Huntmasters are skilled in the wilderness, having good survival skills, keen senses, and considerable stealth. Their learned nature and long hours spent in slow stalks tend to make them rather 'dainty' compared to their fellow gnolls, but they more than make up for that shortcoming with their skillful use of weapons.

Ability-1-Name = Bristling Strike Ability-1-Type = Ex Ability-1-Concentration = Ability-1-Description = When a Gnoll Huntmaster successfully damages an enemy with his Pilum attack, that enemy is considered to be flanked by any gnoll that moves adjacent to it. This flank persists until the enemy uses a move action to pull the pilum(s) out of themselves. Removing a pilum deals no additional damage.

CombatTactics = In battle, Gnoll Huntmasters will use Stealth to stay out of melee if at all possible. They will retreat, taking move actions or five foot steps, and making ranged attacks or full ranged attacks. If forced into melee, they will use their boar spears.
- As an interesting note, Gnoll Huntmasters are fully aware of their Bristling Strike power, and will almost always hold their actions, if at range, until after some or most of their enemies have acted. They will then use ranged attacks to force flanks on enemies for their fellow gnolls in melee to exploit. It is a simple but nasty tactic, and one that is hard to defend against.
OutOfCombat = Gnoll Huntmasters make excellent and nasty random encounters. Their stealth and tracking is quite good, and they can be very useful 'harrying' forces to bedevil a party in the wild, with one Gnoll hanging back in each battle to run away and bring still more Gnolls. Huntmasters are wide-ranging, and it is not unusual to see them meeting with orcs, goblins, bugbears, and all other manner of monsters and beasts. Their Bristling Strike power only really works with other Gnolls, but they provide a solid ranged attack ability for other types of monsters even without it.
