Gnomes - dev suggestion and informal survey

[moorewr]

So, we want Gnomes - a signature race of Eberron - and we probably wont ever, ever get them.

It's clear that animation resources are very limited, so here's what I say.. stick one of those pointy hats and a beard on the halfling model*, and call it a gnome. Close enough..

Then it would just require enhancement lines.. which is within the range of possibility with available dev time.

So that's my proposal. What do you think? Would rather have the bird in the hand (a cross-dressing halfling) or the bird in the bush (a separate set of racial art for gnomes that we will probably never receive in the game)?

* I'm being facetious. Seriously, lighten up.

Technically, gnomes are just a little shorter than halflings, a little lighter perhaps (at least generally speaking, not every halfling is bigger than every gnome).

Beards, etc. aren't really "gnomish," per se. Many gnomes have no beards.

Just being difficult, btw.

Why do I laugh when I picture a Gnome Barbarian?

[unionyes]

I demand real gnomes. Not pretend ones. Not made up ones. Real ones.

Because that is a seriously funny concept, and one I have been dying to play.
