Special Traits

Actions

  • Multiattack. The shaman makes three melee attacks.
  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4+2) piercing damage.
  • Two-Bladed Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. Hit: 6 (1d8+2) slashing damage.
  • Beast Shape (1/Day). The shaman can magically assume the shape of a young lion (use the statistics of a panther), crocodile, or giant goat for up to 2 hours. In beast shape, the shaman gains the physical attributes and statistics (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, hit points, Hit Dice, proficiencies, AC, traits, etc.) of its chosen form, while retaining normal mental attributes (alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma). It can revert to its normal form by using a bonus action. The shaman automatically reverts if it falls unconscious, drops to 0 hit points, or dies. When it reverts, the shaman returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. However, if it reverted as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form.

About

Gnoll shamans draw on the primal spirit of the land for their magic. In addition to being a tribe’s healer, they are often consulted for divination and are responsible for carrying on certain oral traditions among their people.
