So yes, we quite a few who are creative with machines, but being that it's a magical world, technology doesn't quite work the way it supposed to every time. In that way it's a lot like 2e wild magic. When it works, it works well. When it doesn't work, it has a lot of side effect. This creativlty allows them to explore the likes of being a gnome artificer, where machines gain in power.We also have the gnomish illusionist, use displays his creativity through magic. They would take sculpt spell to change what spells look like, give sound effects to spells (an ice stormthat yodels, anyone?), go into vivid detail about just what a person's phantasmal killer looks like. They get bonuses to illusions because of this creativity.And, on top of that, we have the bards, gnomes who express their creativity in song, music, or acting. Represented by gnomes being the core class that has bard as their favored class.So, creativity is the key to knowing a gnomes mind and heart.</blockquote>
