I've always liked Gnolls (since I like hyenas) and would like to play one. However, I'd like to give it some "spice" instead of being a fighter/meatshield (not that there's anything wrong with that, but I want my baby to have potential). What would be an interesting class? I was looking at Duskblade. Also, what might be a fun familiar/companion if his class allows it? Hyena would be the obvious choice, but why be obvious? There's no deadline here, just something for folks to ponder.
