[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5090812, member: 2012"] [B][U][SIZE=5]GNOMES[/SIZE][/U][/B] [SIZE=4][B][U]Gnome[/U][/B] Gnomes are a contradiction between hard-working and fun-loving. They are known as pranksters; they are also known to be resolutely determined. Once a gnome sets his/her mind to a task, it gets done — sooner or later. Gnomes take their time and get things done right, which sometimes means a project will sit on a dusty shelf for years. But it has not been forgotten, just re-prioritized. This is how a gnome's mind works. And it often drives the other races of Tarras crazy. Gnomes are fond of half-elves, halflings, and catfolk. Those races are the most enjoyable companions throughout life. Elves, dwarves, and dragonborn are fun too but more for their unique responses to pranks. Humans are interesting to gnomes because, as a race, they are so varied and they are likely to invent new ideas. Even a half-orc is an okay companion, if he/she isn't too savage and brutal (a rarity). In truth, gnomes try to get along with just about everyone they meet. Yes, gnomes have a long-standing rivalry with kobolds but that has more to do with the inability of kobolds to [I]take a joke[/I]. Gnomes love to practice magic — more specifically, magic that hides them or alters the perception of reality. Gnomes often become gifted illusionists. This combined with their mischievous hearts often gets them into trouble. However, it is usually a trouble that gnomes can handle. They are often three steps ahead of their foes. Gnomes are naturally Chaotic. They are whimsical people with good hearts and steady minds. They gain a sense of calmness as they grow older; gnome elders think more like elves than gnomes.
