Not perfect, sure, but its basic enough a solution. Its not really adding more diversity or lore though beucase.... Templates are boring. Let's be completely honest here, templates are boring. They don't catch the imagination like a full fleshed out stat block. They have their place, sure, but I'd argue that place isn't the PHB, where new players come to play the game and you want to sell them on the options at hand.Making halflings subspecies of humans or gnomes subspecies of elves and dwarves is just going to piss off the halfling and gnome fans. I can confirm this, because as a gnome fan, I don't want no stinking elf, and both races offer nothing I want or need in my gnomish ways. There's no benefit to this except pissing off shortfolk fans and giving me a boring statblock rhat I had to go back and read because when I originally saw your post? My eyes glazed over the stats. I had to go back and read it, that's how boring a pure templated statblock can be.Suggesting you want gnomes integrated with elves is suggesting you don't want me as a customer</blockquote>
