Gnomes Book

Regarding "Tinkering/Alchemy" Gnomes,

There are some Alchemy related feats: e.g. Brew Expendible Potion, Alchemical Nose. The Equipment section has a definite alchemy feel to it, with several herbs, chemicals, oils, etc detailed. Finally, the spell section, while prodominately illusionist, also has quite a few transmutation spells.

No alchemy related PrCs though.

A lot of Gnomish vocabulary is introduced (I'd like to know how they came up with it all).

Hey.

I can answer to what I wrote though I haven't yet seen the final product. I based the words of the Imperial Gnomes lexicon on Korean and Mandarin. For the Hill Gnomes, I based most of the words on Dutch, while the language of the Mountain Gnomes had an archaic German base to them.

I hope that helps.

Edit:I must stop smoking crack. That and beer!

Yes, replying to my own quote. I think it needs a little clarification.

When I say based on, for Dutch and German, the words are not directly from that language, but sometimes I took words meaning what I wanted and changed them slightly, or I found words that had absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand, but, in my ear, sounded applicable.

I do speak a little Korean, so much of that is taken from Korean, though, again, also usually tweaked slightly in the hopes of creating a consistent feel (though, yes, Korean is a single, consistent lanugage, still, that might not have been clear from the examples used).

I know this is probably useless information to most people, but I'm bored.

Take care all.
