[QUOTE="Dagger75, post: 519730, member: 539"] It looks like I have to chime it on this. Why I hate gnomes The way they are protrayed. I never liked them as tricksters like they were protrayed in 1e and 2e. I guess it also has to do with the few players who play gnomes. They were always playing tricks on the party. Sneaking up to the evil mages to place Kick Me signs stuff like that. Granted we young but I never liked that. Then in RPGA, my friend played a gnome, a very annoying gnome. Players always seem to act stupid when they play gnomes. I tried to play once. A gnome ranger. He was no trickster, practicle joker or tinker. I played hm like a bounty hunter, BUT other people expected the trickster so I had no fun. Something needs to change the preception of the gnome. I like the picture of the gnome in the monster manuel. The picture of the gnome in the players handbook is stupid, glasses, funky headband telecope, microscope thingy. Bah. I don't know what I want gnomes to be. I want them to be a serious race. Something I want to play. When most people see an elf- Probably a powerful mage. Dwarf- Stout fighter Halfling - The thief Half Orc- a raging barbarian Gnome- Is he going to cast some stupid illusion of a pokadot horse with butterfly wings and hope the evil necromancer is afraid of it. Is he going to put a whoopy cusion on my bar stool. See gnomes are still freaking lame I also hated tinker gnomes. Flying blimp ships, catapults instead of stairs. Thats just plain stupid. And that is why I hate gnomes [/QUOTE]
