[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6366464, member: 51930"] I owe gnomes an apology! I was working under a false presumption based upon Google searches. I have finally received my PHB today, and discovered that many of the peices were not in fact in the book! Bearded gnomes: p291 (deafened condition illustration), and p292 (unconscious). The rest are, as you say, acceptably Fey and spritely. The illustrations I was looking at were the Conceptopolis ones; ditto the halflings, though those are in the PHB. The only gnome 5e pictures I could find on google, that weren't from 4e, were old man gnomes. One in particular, in the 5e Races search I did, kept coming up over and over. THAT SAID, and I mean this, I still like the halflings. I noticed something with my kids, who are very young, is that their heads and feet are in similar proportion to the big-head-small-feet halflings in the book. The proportions are closer to very young children, and in fact are closer to this than the Gnomes are in their sections of the book. I do miss the unity William OConnor brought to 4e, image-wise. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
