[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 322073, member: 627"] I have never been a fan of the gnomes. In my campaigns they have either been lesser versions of brownies or other fairies or none existant. In my home brew world (StormWorld) they never existed. I thought for awhile of saying they did exist but were hunted like gophers and slowly tortured to death over hundreds of years, but I decided that was just my gratuitous distaste for them showing through. I tried playing a gnome once. Thalmadge Oakstear, Fighter/Druid (2e). eh. He just never did it for me. Now Halflings on the other hand I have played several. My favorite was a Halfling Fighter from 1E/Unearthed Arcana days. His name was Pucendoris Took (not very original but I was 16 at the time). Puc for short. He had a 17th strength and thought of himself as the Conan of the Halflings. Fun character. I was mightly annoyed when 3E came out the Halflings had changed to this Gypsy-eque race. That is how I had rewritten them in my campaign world back in the late 80's. They were called the Roma. I guess great obscure minds think alike? [/QUOTE]
