[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9759473, member: 6877472"] Lol, well, it's funny you say that. The Gnome has the same identity crisis as the Ranger. What is a Gnome? They're small sized and sneaky, like Halflings. They live in the forest and are innately magical, like Elves. They live underground and appreciate gems, like Dwarves. But what's unique about Gnomes? They like illusions and gadgets? The only two times I've ever wanted to play a Gnome were in Eberron, where they're basically secret agents, and one time in 2e when I realized they were a small race without a strength penalty and I showed up to a game with a Gnome Fighter/Priest with exceptional strength wielding a bastard sword in two hands using it's superior damage because it's still a Medium weapon in that configuration by the rules. Optimal? Not in a million years, but being awarded the title in and out of universe as the "World's Strongest Gnome"? Worth it! [/QUOTE]
