[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 2958735, member: 11760"] My gnomes are straight out of the book stats wise, but behave more like fey dwarves of myth. They hide their homes (including some quite stately castles) behind illusions, craft magical items (some of which we'd call technological) and the animals of the forest protect and speak with them. That log drifting on a creek? If you look out of the corner of your eye, you'll see it's a gnome fishing in a bark canoe. Those squirrels that chitter madly when you walk under their trees? They're calling out to the gnomes that you're coming. I agree on the loremasters: Think of gnomish bards as loremasters-in-training and you won't go wrong. Don't have them whip out a mandolin unless you really want to; gnomes perform with storytelling or poetry or written works or with musical instruments that make sense to gnomes (alpenhorns, accordions, bagpipes) and that everyone else finds an acquired taste at best. They should see the world a little cockeyed and seem alternately naive and strange. [/QUOTE]
