D&D 4E This is why there are no Gnomes in 4e..

[Hussar]

Gnomes should be information brokers. It's the perfect role for them.

Halflings already took that role.

You are wrong, it's because of the Book of Erotic Fantasy. There they are portraied as bisexual gangbangers....images in my head...burned in forever.

Makes you see Gnome (N)PCs with completly different eyes

My friend just lent me that book as a gag, and I am surprised at how well the noted 'habbits' of the races fit so well with the core races that I would expect to see them right in the "Races of" books, had they been rated 18+.

And that being said, Gnomes make me laugh about 10x what they used to! XD

Gangsta gnomes. The only true gnome.

They should make gnomes be what you get when an elf and dwarf mommy and daddy really love each other...

 

[RigaMortus2]

Gnomes in my world are often bankers or lawyers, and own most of the corporations.

Take from that what you will...

There's room enough for only one race of midgets, and Halflings have seniority in D&D. If you really need your Gnome fix, World of Warcraft is right over there in both MMO & TRPG flavors. Knock yourselves out.

A whole race of information brokers? That's almost as nonsensical as the Star Wars "all Hutts are gangsters" thing. Makes you wonder what they eat if there are no farmers or hunters...

At least there's real money in being a criminal overlord.
