[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7639350, member: 6704184"] I mean it works fine with just having good persuasion, as well. And makes falconer rangers interesting. (As long as your DM is nice about your pet or uses the revised ranger or otherwise helps you keep it alive) but conceptually i agree that forest gnomes should be better druids than they are. As a DM I’d consider allowing a wisdom boost rather than wisdom, or since I don’t view druids as divine in my worlds/games, using Int for casting. But, honestly, I don’t think 5e needs you to match race to class all that much. Then again, I also think that Druidic should allow you to speak with animals and without a spell, and maybe trees, too. Even if it had to be a tier 2 ability, I’d be okay with that. I’m fine with races not being perfectly balanced, but a tool and a ribbon isn’t much for a subrace, and the reason I brought up that shortage is simply that it means there is plenty of room in the rock gnome to also be able to speak with critters. As to the urban campaign...rats, birds, racoons, cats, and insects, are all small or smaller beasts. Speaking with them is incredible in an urban campaign. Im not familiar with the Golarion depiction, can you give a tl:dr of why you love them so much? I’d also love to hear about your favorite non-silly Gnome PCs! Ive never seen anyone try to do that. Interesting. [/QUOTE]
