What's everyone's issue with gnomes and kenders? ;) They are the spice of my campaigns. Well, the kenders maybe less so.


150) Your character is based on some Japanese cartoons calling themselves "anime."

151) You know your GM allows all sorts of mixed races, so you try to sneak in an 1/8 Dwarf/Elf/Halfling/Dragon/Human/Mrrrengar/Pixie/Kobold character. Hey, I might've let it pass (you always need someone to kill) but the pixie was taking it a BIT too far :p

152) You ask "can I start 5 levels higher than the others?"

153) You try to sneak in Star Wars races into a Star Trek game - or the other way round.

154) You create a stunted halfling not much taller than a pixie.

155) Your psion has a heirloom magic item that works surprisingly like a lightsaber.
 

What's everyone's issue with gnomes and kenders?

I think it's more about people trying to fit in and have a common bond over something. Then again, players probably are super annoying most of the time when they play kenders.

I think Gnomes on the other hand get a bad wrap. I find them charming, unless they are depicted as a dorky garden gnome (which I don't). One of my favorite NPCs is a chaotic evil Gnome Druid/Vermin Lord. He's insanely (charming). Especially when he's wearing his Swarm Armor and using his Spider Legs spell and spewing vermin all over someone. He's so cute!
 

65 your character is actually a group of smaller characters who join together to form a single stronger character. Your discription of the character is "he's sort of like Voltron but with Halflings instead of Lions."

.

Halftron is a fantastic idea :-p.

I had a group of apprentices in a necromancer's guild who came together to form a Greater Shadow, so I guess it just doesn't apply ;).

156.) "So, I was wanting to take advantage of your real-time game, and decided to go with a baby. Think of the size modifiers!"

Not that there hasn't been precedent...

EDIT: Sadly unable to get a linked pic to work :)

158) Your DM hands back the character without reading pages 2-666.
159) Your characters family tree goes back 6 generations to cover all the templates, half-races and bloodlines you plan to use.
160) You tell the DM how you developed your own Gestalt rules for Pathfinder, but they are way better than 3.5 because you can have three classes.
161) You used splat books from 3 or more editions.
162) After hearing about your character, your DM is using dice to sharpen the blade on a guillotine she fashioned from the DM screens and the cord from her dice bag.
 




166) You run out of ink printing your backstory.

167) You show him the art you based the character on and he says:
"Wait, that's not your mount?"
or
"Wait, is that from a hentai?"
or
"Wait, is that Drizzt?"

168) You reference one of the setting's NPCs, with the phrase "son of..."

169) "I'm using the same character with all his stuff from my last group's campaign."
