In my opinion it should more closely reflect legends - and thus likely should have a Level Adjustment. It should be Tiny sized, move as if Medium sized (30 ft), Wild Empathy equivalent to Druid of similar HD, and perhaps a few spell like abilities - such as Pass without Trace, Speak with Animal, Expeditous Retreat, Feather Fall, Prestidigitation, maybe even Water Walk 1/day while running - that is to say nature and movement based spells. Of course, my view of the gnome was strongly influenced by the whole "David the Gnome" series (or whatever it was called) from back with Nickelodeon was starting up and still showed cartoons such as Padington Bear, Curious George, etc. (How far they have fallen . . . .) The little man, swift and sure in movement, able to communicate with the fox or bird for an even swifter ride somewhere, helping out the forest, its inhabitants, and the nicer nearby humans (albeit rarely, as I recall, were the nearby humans involved in any of the happenings in the show). From this perspective, the Gnome should likely be an LA +1 or even +2 race, and its favored class should be Druid - or perhaps a modified version of Ranger (Familiar Environment, etc). Of course the Druid class also needs some adjusting, but that goes without need of saying.</blockquote>
