Patron trickeryTacticsBefore Combat The gnoll casts countless eyes and mage armor on herself.
During Combat The bouda’s favorite tactic is to use a spell such as cloudkill or waves of fatigue against multiple enemies to soften them up before her packmates attack. She then singles out enemies for slay living or baleful polymorph.

Because a bouda’s expertise seems so alien and odd, a witch must prove her toughness before she is accepted as a revered bouda.Creatures in "Gnoll" Category
