The inflatable wall blocks line of sight and blocks objects and creatures attempting to   pass through it.  The wall lasts until destroyed.   Attacks against the inflatable wall automatically hit and it has 1 hp.  and a daily:           Experimental Drug Tinker Attack 1   You aren't exactly sure what this chemical in your syringe does yet, but that's why you need test subjects.   Daily; Technology, Invention;Standard Action MeleeTarget: One creatureAttack: Intelligence vs. Reflex   Hit: 3d10 +Intelligence modifier damage. Roll a d6 to determine the attack's damage type and effect. <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Black Lily Extract:     Necrotic damage, and the target is weakened (save ends).      </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Miracle Cure: Acid damage,     and ongoing 5 acid damage (save ends).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Compound X: Poison damage,     and the target is blinded (save ends).      </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Shimmerweed Solution:     Radiant damage, and the target is dazed (save ends).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">White Dragon Blood: Cold     damage, and the target is immobilized (save ends).      </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Yaggol Brain Juice: Psychic damage, and the target     takes a –2 penalty to AC (save ends).      </li> </ol>Miss: 1d10 damage. Roll a d6 to determine the attack's damage type and effect, as above.   The point is to maintain the gnomish wackiness, but to make them an effective party member rather than an annoying liability.   The chaos sorcerer I think was a pretty good reformation of the wild mage, so I figured the mechanic could be used to show the unreliability of gnomish technology, but still make it an effective PC.So I guess my question would be to those who aren't fans of the tinker gnome, would this rehabilitate the gnome enough to make him fun or does the very idea of the tinker gnome turn you off?</blockquote>
