But Gnolls get "standard starting money", unlike "normal rules" for level adjustment.

Does that mean that a human fighter PC has 290gp, but a gnoll fighter 1 has only 240gp?

or does that just mean that they aren't second level charcacters for purposes of starting cash?

The thing is, gnoll characters will have an EV proportionate to their ECL after some adventuring (seeing as they do not actually gain a class level when they hit 1000 xp), and level kicks always award EV proportionate to the level kicking.

Concerning the extra gold awarded for being a member of the Blackwheel Company, it is based purely on character level, which means gnolls will be one level behind (after 1st level) on this bonus.

07-21-06, 10:20 AM Let's look forward to later in the campaign. Say you're playing a gnoll fighter. When your printout says you're 3rd level, which means you're a second level gnoll fighter, is your Blackwheel EV bonus still 150 (50x3), or only 100?

I'm thinking you should go by the ECL of 3.
