[PR] Gnomes: Masters of Illusion (No Lawn Gnomes here)

[HellHound]

Excellent on the Pantheon.

An element I LOVE about racebooks is alternate pantheons. I've never been very fond of the "core" racial pantheons that are used cross-game-lines in the TSR settings. I much prefer to see new pantheons suggested for the race to REALLY make them stand out and give them new options - as was done in Hammer & Helm by Green Ronin.

Adding the the list of features:
9 Prestige Classes
Over 50 spells
diseases
A full panthenon of sample gnome dieties to use, abuse, or disapprove.

What are the Prestige Classes?

Glad you like this... I got to mess with alot of those myself... which brings me to a weird thought... if the deities of the pantheons create the gnomes and I create the deities... what does that make me? Mother Nature= Dirt?

That would make you the mother of all gnomes!

Hmmm... that would explain all those little critters running around the yard with the little pointy hats and demands of shiny new gears so that they can build a swing set!

Tidbits to look forward to:

(I haven't done a final count on the numbers yet)
Dozens of Illusion (Glamer) spells.
Magical Pipes . . .

What about magical weed for those magical pipes? Heck, I'd be happy with some magical fungus!

no... tensen makes good attempts to steer my design work away from that. No... really something like that may or may not appear in later products... though tastfully, if it does, but I'm not saying if it will or if it won't....

Forgive me, I've been away from the computer that had it. So I might be mistaken on some of the final names:

Burrow Savage - by Dave Woodrum
Earthbound Lord - by Lyle Knapp
Gnome Guardian - by Patrick Lawinger
Gnome Naturalist - by Patrick Lawinger
Master of Gnomonics - by Lyle Knapp
Stump Knight - by Dave Woodrum
Tiger Monk - by Patrick Lawinger

...can't wait to see it all finally put together, since this one has been evolving even before I was brought into the fold with Dark Quest.
Aged like a fine wine I guess!
(or a side of country ham and a bottle of bourbon for us lower- Virginia rural folk! )

Gnomes should be done with layout shortly. And then off to have the first short-run print on demand copies done up for release.
