[QUOTE="shmurghi, post: 2958650, member: 42100"] [b]synthesis/summary[/b] I agree with a most of the posts here, and in my campaign gnomesshare the following aspects with other posts here: 1.curious little fey/humanoids 2. variation among all the different characteristics - some are tinkery some are woodsy... 3. the very apt dumbledore comparison holds - i.e. a lot of gnomes are eccentric benevolent intellectuals, who though maybe powerful, are not aggressive 4. druids wizards and bards are common callings for the gnomes. also: 5. i like the "gnomes of Zurich" analogy, where the gnomes are kind of like the swiss (but more lighthearted) 6. in my campaign world, gnomes in non-gnomish societies are usually a "model minority" that is, skilled and knowledgeable, prosperous and non-disruptive, and also not greedy domineering hoarders either. so overall, I like the Eberron spin on gnomes gradually grading off into reclusive bands of fey. One thing to remember is that gnomes would act very different on a secure society with their own kind than they would in the wilderness with possible threats all around. [/QUOTE]
