[QUOTE="Ravellion, post: 918714, member: 538"] Well, I modelled my as far yet unplaytested or even beyond first draft Gnomes from Rien Poortvliet's "The Gnome (De Kabouter)" books, which are effectively Forest Gnomes. I came out with a Diminutive race though, since according to the books these gnomes are only 6 inches tall and weighh 275 to 300 grams. 6 inches tall and weighing less than 1 pound, Gnomes are creaures who tend after the forest and are in tune with the life of nature itself. Their lives are almost as long as those of dwarves and they spend them with animal friends and themselves. They usually tend to avoid other intelligent creatures. they tend to be friendly and good natured. · -8 Strength, +6 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma · Diminuitive size. This grants a +4 size bonus to Armour Class and Attack Rolls. · Gnome base speed is 10 feet. · Low-light Vision: Gnomes can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. · +4 dodge bonus against all creatures of Medium size or greater. · +2 racial bonus on Listen checks. · +2 racial bonus on Handle Animal checks. · Automatic Languages: Gnome and Common · Bonus Languages: Sylvan, Giant, Goblin, Orc, Elf. · At will a forest gnome can use "Speak with Animals" [per the spell] as a spell-like ability to speak with any animal (the gnome is considered a 1st-level caster when he uses this ability, regardless of his actual level). · Favored Class: Druid · Effective Character Level: +2 This keeps their weapon selcetion to either the Diminutive short sword doing 1d3 damage, or Fine Daggers (finessable) dealing 1 damage. I am wondering whether I could drop the ECL a bit or not. [/QUOTE]
