Reginald: Ready, Buckminster? Charge!

Buckminster: SQUEEEEEK!!!!!!!



On a more serious note, it's time I lodged my two biggest complaints about Gnomes in 3e and 3.5-

Why in the heck do they have a +2 to Con and -2 to Str, rather than a +2 to Int and -2 to Wis, which would have brought them in line with their +1 to Int and -1 to Wis they had in 2e?

Why, oh why, is Bard their favored class!?!?!?!?!

My solution- Change their stat adjustments to +2 Int and -2 Wis, change their favored class to Wizard. (Change the Elf's favored class to Ranger)

This gives them a niche, and makes them more interesting to play, in one fell swoop. I'm going to implement it in all my future games.

As well they should be!

*sneaks in and lobs a few delayed blast fireballs into the back of the party and dashes back out*

Die gnomes die!

Oh bah. Do you think with all these gnomes, none of them can counter a fireball?

Fireball! Wheeeeee!

[Conaill joins in the fun and lobs a bag full of naphta flasks back at Celestian.]

Oh yes... they also have steampunk tech and "look down" upon the other, unenlightened races.

Of course, they also have a very low birthrate, and nobody can really take them seriously... ... until they start lobbing fireballs and cannon rounds in their direction...
