Revision Spotlight on Gnomes

[Umbran]

The problem with gnomes is that they're supposed to fit too many widely different roles.

Hm. Gnome = Ranger.

Not really unless you take it that gnome anatomy is just scaled down human anatomy. I've always been more inclined to beleive that Gnomes etc have entirely different muscular structures so that they pack on more and denser muscle than humans do and consequently are much stronger than a human of the same size would be.

For a real-life example, look at the chimp.
On the other hand, remember the carrying capacity and weapons of small races are less than their medium size counterparts.
