[QUOTE="LoneWolf23, post: 239094, member: 643"] [b]From the Daergel Academy of Gnomish Education[/b] Excerpts from the lecture "New Gnomes for a New Multiverse", by the esteemed Professor Bognin Turkogle, Head of the Department of Gnomish Studies. "We here at Daergel Academy, as well as in many other fine Institutes all over the multiverse, are proud to announce that our "New Gnomes" racial improvement campaign have had amazingly successful results. For far too many years, we Gnomes have suffered from the stereotypical assumption we were all "three inches thigh protectors of the woodland with duncecaps and a preference for Illusion magic". The fact that so few of us actually bothered to undertake an Adventuring career other then as an Illusionist didn't help this pathetic image of us. If we wanted to be taken seriously by other races, and not merely end up "the Dwarves' Poor Cousins", we had to change this. Thus, we established a Racial-wide crosstraining program to ensure the improvement of our race. The Gnomes of Krynn were more then happy to teach their technical skills to the rest of our race, and we Gnomes have all, as a species, taken quite well to mechanical engineering. We improved our racial training to battle against Kobolds, Goblinoids and Giants, and have begun exploring other "Class" professions more closely, including more military professions, using the benefit of natural Gnomish constitution as an advantage. Finally, we recruited one of our race's finest Illusionists, Nebin, and gave him a grandiose Image Makeover, before assigning him to a party of "Iconic" adventurers, who have been making a good career of advertising the cosmology-wide changes throughout the Multiverse. While the number of Gnomish Adventurers hasn't greatly increased, the fact we were featured in an issue of the Transdimensional "Dragon" Magazine is a sign of good things to come. The Multiverse has no choice but to take us seriously now." [/QUOTE]
