Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 3719952" data-attributes="member: 13966">Gnomes are fun.  They just are.  And that's all that matters.  They deserve more than any other race, except the traditional humans, elves, and dwarves, to be in the Player's Handbook.Anyone who thinks half-orcs deserve it more is just wrong.  Half-orcs, if any of the core races are to be removed from the PHB, deserve to be the ones who get booted to the Monster Manual.  They're too rare, or nonexistent, in most settings to be worthy of a spot in the PHB, unless that spot is just excess space left over to fill with whatever.Gnomes may not be in Dark Sun/Athas, but neither are half-orcs.  At least gnomes are a significant race in other campaign settings though, whereas half-orcs are almost always very minimal in presence/importance.Except in Eyros, but Eyros isn't an official setting, and it's far cooler than anything Wizards of the Coast could slap together itself (they had to go begging for setting ideas from other people as a lame gimmick in order to get a new setting that didn't suck).  Cuz Eyros was built by EN Worlders. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> ......And even in Eyros, gnomes are in a position to almost be the secret masters of the human/orc/half-orc Sovereign Dominion of Eyros..... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
