Demonic Fervor Once per encounter, the Chosen of Yeenoghu may inspire a demonic fervor in its allies, giving them +2 to Str checks, Str-based skill checks, attacks, and damage. This condition only lasts while the Chosen is conscious and within line of sight.
Healing Burst By sacrificing 1d4 of its own hitpoints, the Chosen of Yeenoghu may restore 1d8+5 hit points to all of its allies within 6 squares as a standard action. This may be done without sacrificing hitpoints for the duration of the Chosen’s “Loyal Beyond Death” ability.
Loyal Beyond Death Once per encounter, when a Chosen of Yeenoghu is slain, it will rise to continue the battle as an undead creature for 1d6+1 rounds. It is effectively a 5th level undead creature and can be turned/rebuked or subject to necromancy as such. In games that track SAN (only), seeing this horrific event costs 1/1d6 SAN. In this state, the Chosen does not lose hit points (already being at 0 hp), but any attack that overcomes its damage threshold will slay it again permanently. At the end of the 1d6+1 rounds, the Chosen of Yeenoghu dies permanently.
Natural Armor A gnoll’s heavy hide gives it +1 natural armor.
Smite Enemies Once per encounter, the Chosen of Yeenoghu may add +5 to all its attacks and damage with its flail for 1 round.
Summon Ghoul Yeenoghu, besides being a demon of savage butchery, is also the Lord of Ghouls. Once per encounter, the Chosen of Yeenoghu may make a Spellcraft check to summon a ghoul which will serve the Chosen loyally for the duration of the encounter. If the Chosen succeeds its Spellcraft check by 5+, two ghouls are summoned.
Warrior Training Gnolls get Armor Proficiency (Light) and Weapon Proficiency (Martial Weapons) as bonus feats.

In case anybody's nuts enough to have been paying attention to the minutiae of these posts, you may notice that weapons, armor, and a few other things have been drifting around. This is because as I've gotten further into the project, I've found better ways to handle certain things, as well as problems with some of my initial work. This game design stuff is hard!
