Recommended for players who just want a general Gryphon char. Notes on gryphons in general: (Mainly from the Monsters and Animals book, with a few additions of my own) Gryphons HATE vampires and other undead, instinctively. Sentient gryphon can be very loyal. Although they normally gather in small, loose-knit communities of 4D4, they will join small groups of humans and/or DBs on occasion. A mated pair (they mate for life) can bear 1D4 offspring once every 8 years. Young leave the parents at the age of 7 or 8 and reach full maturity by age 12. Gryphons generally attempt to avoid conflict, attacking only when attacked first, hurt, scared, threatened, or when protecting their young or mate. Once engaged in combat, they will fight until their opponent is slain or retreats. Gryphons feed on sheep, goats, deer, and large fowl.
