Sounds like a Sorcerer might fit in well. And it might even better if he had a level or two of Ranger and some talent with a bow? What do you think?
I've seen that PrC, I think it's in the Complete Fighter or somewhere like that. The only problem is that my love of Gnomes generally stops short of committing suicide by playing midget fighters. How's about a halberd- or bastard sword-wielding human Paladin then?Maybe you could make anothermeatshieldvaliant defender, we seem to lack heavily armored guys. Maybe gnome giant slayer (there is PrC somewhere which allows fighting with two shields and gives extra bonuses against opponents larger then you are (which for gnomes is everyone but halflings and goblins) )
Duskblade? Fighter BAB, long reach with polearm, spell added damage more then few times a day etc...for exchange of few hitpoints
Ok, thanks! I looked at the class and that is just PERFECT!It's full base class from PHB II
