A gnome with a Charisma score of at least 10 also has the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, ghost sound, prestidigitation. Caster level 1st; save DC 10 + gnome’s Cha modifier + spell level.I agree with you that the bonus against kobald/goblin/orc is not worth a feat - but the ac bonus against giant size is (a +4 ac against all giant class creatures ain't that bad) and is worth a feat.  I forgot to add that to the dwarf.Perhaps I should scale the Gnome ability down to 1 feat instead of 3/2?Souljourner - it is not possible to create an exact numeric comparison without arbitrary decisions - but a rough guide is indeed possible.  We make a rough guide in our heads when we compare them already, why not a guestimate you can refer to and refine over time & by comparing your view with others?Thels - I gave small size no bonus or penalty because the gain (+1 ac & att) is good, and the 20' move is crappy, making it an even rub to me.HUMANS 4DWARVES 6 3/4ELVES 4 3/4GNOMES 5 1/2HALF-ELVES 4 1/4HALF-ORCS 1HALFLINGS 3 3/4</blockquote>
