[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 8682136, member: 82524"] Part of the problem gnomes have is that they've historically been the nail from which D&D hangs a lot of jokes. They're scientists, but at best only for baubles and toys and at worst, they make things that fail catastrophically. They're nature lovers, but only to talk to small, furry animals.= and Disney Princess their way through everything. They're magic, but only illusions, which the game rarely takes as serious magic. Ultimately, they're halflings with bolt-ons that make them less serious. I'm a guy that absolutely refuses to take this game seriously, and even I think the game does gnomes pretty dirty in terms of what rasions detre they've been given. If I was inclined to not just fold them into halflings, I would lean far into the magic thing; give them back thier folkloric origin stolen from them when they were also kobolds and make them earth elementals. Give them earthglide, natural DR, and a builder/make society. [/QUOTE]
