Name: Fine.

Age: Fine.

Gender: Fine.

Race: Fine.

Magic Branch: This is not so much of a magical talent as it is a trait for the character. And besides. No inventing magic. If you have an idea you can submit a lore page to me for review. What's more the idea of seeing into the future seems like an incredibly tacked on ability.

Appearance: Gnolls are generally five feet tall at the very most. Having a seven and a half feet tall Gnoll is liking having a ten foot tall human. You will need to change this.

Personality: I don't like the huge focus on peace with humans. That being said I really do like the idea of a Gnoll who sort of "idolizes" humanity though in my opinion that would be even more reason to open them up. He'd want to see how they get all smart like they are. Now we come upon the biggest issue. Rot Hide Gnolls are in Lordaeron literally hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of leagues away in the war torn north. There is no Scourge presence in the southern regions of the Eastern Kingdoms. Thus the drive for uniting these tribes no longer exists for you.

Weapons Items: Bonechwer: Fine, Longclaw: No, Grimshroud: Hell no.

Strengths: Needs to be rough multi-lingual but otherwise fine. Rest of it is good except for the seeing into the future and the size bit.

Flaws: All fine but considering there are no Rot Hide gnolls you may want to rethink the final flaw.

History: Just re-write it.

RP Sample: His strength seems to contradict the character but fine.

My major comments on your comments regard the size. I did look at a bunch of information via blizzard and other sites, yes, gnolls average approximatly five to five and half feet for a standard grunt type, but older gnolls, specifically brutes or those that lead the tribes were reported to be anywhere around and up to seven or so feet tall.

Also, rough multi-lingual is the same as broken. Meaning it's not very good.

Also, gnolls are very likely to take whatever gear they can from those they kill, and such, having a suit of standard chainmail and a great sword would not be beyond the reach of a gnoll to use. Neither have any magical properties or such.

I don't care.

Then your cleared.

Exactly. They are scavengers. No one in Stormwind would walk around in a full plate of midnight colored mail and be defeated by an angry gnoll. What's more the suit would have been tailored made for the individual which means the ill conformed Gnoll would only be capable of bearing bits and pieces of it.

I think she made good enough changes.

[Varian Wrynn]

No Grimshroud. I just don't think snazzy armor feets the spirit of the Gnolls. I'm sorry but I want that removed and I also want you to make it five and half feet in height instead of six. I'll concede if my constituents don't mind but I really think the future seeing is tacked power to an otherwise well developed character and is something that will rob a future character of something special. As for your RP sample there is no reason to apologize. It was written well and you are by no means required to make it match your application.

"Gnolls are hyena-like humanoids standing about 7 feet tall. Gnolls of the same tribe tend to share a similar appearance, with either a reddish-brown, black, greenish-gray, or yellow mane."

-From WoWwiki

She's not lying. :\

[Varian Wrynn]

I didn't say she was incorrect.

[Elitha Sulrin]

You're sure acting like it.

On the same page, it also says that Gnolls are between 5 and 6 feet in height.
