All while constantly needing to be rescued by the adventuring group because they either got in over their heads, or because they are actually incapable of protecting themselves. And yet when you save them, they still act like they are better then you. Now obviously this isn’t how many people play gnomes in their games but this has happened in a few groups I’ve played with and with enough frequency that it makes me wary of gnomes appearing in games. When I decided to make my own homebrew world, I decided to take a look a some of the main races and consider how they would be represented in the world, especially since humans are not a main race on my world (they are considered outsiders as all humans on Salvera originate from other material planes). Gnomes are one of the races I thought a lot about and I’m pretty happy with my interpretation for my world, even if it’s a bit unoriginal. Basically, I don’t hate gnomes but my experiences with them did them no favors.</blockquote>
