It's a story telling game, as are basically all RPGs, of every type, from Table-top games to Video games. So, why fill out a sheet of paper that basically will be nothing more then a sword, or a spell? I mean, that seems a bit of a waste to me. There's a reason those pieces of paper we all hold dear are called "character sheets" after all.Which is another reason I love Gnomes. The possibilities when it comes to good/great characters that can be made from them. Well, all races can be made into great characters, be they simple and easy to understand, or complex with many layers (like shrek!). I just find that Gnomes, for me at least, bring out the best possible characters. From the simple and loveable, to the dark, and misunderstood. They could be Bat-man, or Joker... or even Mr. Myxlplyx. (man, that's a hard name to say.) It's just a damn shame that people will shoe-horn a race into a particular role, without giving them the proper attention they desire and require. (Best to stop here, otherwise I'll run through my rant on Orcs, and how I feel they are often misrepresented in most fantasy games, and stories, but you can blame "The Elder Scrolls" for that one, and how awesome they are in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Before that, they were just enemies to kill...)</blockquote>
