The fastest gnome alive!

[DreamChaser]

Trying to take multiple feats as Speed of Thought does not work. For 2 reasons: you can't take it more than once, because it doesn't say you can, like all the other feats that can be, and it gives an Insight Bonus, which won't stack with another Insight Bonus.

You could in 3.0, which is what the poster was referring to.

Now in 3.5 you cannot (which is much better IMHO).

Bastion Press did a book called Arms and Equipment for 3E, and it contains Leggings of Speed that increase the wearer's base speed by 10, and increase Dexterity by an enhancement bonus of +2.

The Extreme Leap trick in the Complete Scoundrel allows you to spend a swift action to move an additional 10 feet on that turn if you make a horizontal jump of at least 10 feet during your turn.

Also, your speedy gnomezales will be able to jump over blocking Balors at high levels since you get a +4 bonus for every 10 feet of movement over 30 feet. So, have him master Jump also for the complete package.

In addition, consider that Kobolds are a small humanoid that have 30' base move. Maybe your character should be a kobold.

Actually, I think he should be an Anthropomorphic mouse (maybe using the rat stats), using the template in Savage Species.

And I like kobolds with the kangaroo jump!

So doesn't that also mean he's going to need a cousin who is the slowest gnome alive?

IIRC, the granted power of the Freedom Mantle that an Ardent or Divine Mind from Complete Psionic (or a Mantled Warrior Psychic Warrior variant from a recent WotC article) could take grants a character an unnamed +10 bonus to speed while they maintain their psionic focus.

Gnome: 20 ft.
Barbarian 1: +10 ft.
Monk 18: +60 ft.
Wild Talent + Speed of Thought: +10 ft.
Dash: +5 ft.

Total: 105 ft.

Boots of Striding and Springing don't stack with the Monk's Fast Movement (both are enhancement).

 

[Engilbrand]

As someone else said, go with a Whisper Gnome from Races of Stone. They have 30ft movement.

As the OP said, "standard PHB gnome".
