DDOGamer: Gnomes

Better late than never, right?

… we showed them some of the art for gnomes. A lot of the male gnome art is looking good.

Just to put this out there -
Looking forward to a 'sneak leak' of the artwork.

Good eye UY, good eye

?? Oh, give me a gnome, / With a +2 STR tome / And a gear-driven type of some sleigh. ??
?? That way we can have / (Now, don't you go laugh), / A "gnome-mobile" in the game (yay!). ??

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ComicRelief again.

Cynical *

So... are you saying you don't think skinning a half orc for the PDK human is historical precedence? It doesn't look even the least bit cynical to me, it looks like SOP.

Pdk is a re-skinned horc, that's pretty obvious. What many people don't notice is that horc is a re-skinned giant dwarf.

If they add gnomes they need to add some Shadow Evocation. It would be pretty easy to do I would think, just add a saving throw to a few spells based on Illusion DC and make the visual effect shadowy and there you go. Besides Phantasmal Killer and Hypnotic Pattern there currently is no reason to buff the illusion dc.

Also, and this one is more of a technical hurdle, but I have always thought it would be cool to have Illusory Wall. Mobs that fail will saves are forced to path around the spell.

[Zzevel]

90% chance it's a re-skinned dorf.
10% chance it's a re-skinned halfling.

I'm going with Halflings with big noses and funky facial hair... just sayin

[Sirea]

90% chance it's a re-skinned dorf.
10% chance it's a re-skinned halfling.

Probably be a weird mashup of the two, like PDK is a human/H-Orc mashup (IMO).

[Steve_Howe]

Those little bastages better come with tall, pointy, red hats.

That's all I've got to say.

[Gedov]

90% chance it's a re-skinned dorf.
10% chance it's a re-skinned halfling.

Oh, but halfling body and half-elf head would be priceless!

[ForgettableNPC]

90% chance it's a re-skinned dorf.
10% chance it's a re-skinned halfling.

I think it's going to be either a slightly skinnier Dwarf or a slightly rounder Halfling.

[Sirea]

I think it's going to be either a slightly skinnier Dwarf or a slightly rounder Halfling.

I'm going with sized-down dorf heads/torsos with slightly larger halfling arms/legs. If I cared enough I'd throw something together in Photoshop.

[Sir_Noob]

90% chance it's a re-skinned dorf.
10% chance it's a re-skinned halfling.

It would be cool if they looked like Kobolds, I would play one too then.

[ka0t1c1sm]

Yay!

My hope is that the coming of gnomes will also take us to new places (Zilargo, where gnomes rule!), new quest chains with a new patron (House Sivis!), and a new Dragonmark (Mark of Scribing. Symbols!).

Please devs, MORE EBERRON!

[geoffhanna]

...

Nice sig image!

[Grandern_Marn]

90% chance it's a re-skinned dorf.
10% chance it's a re-skinned halfling.

I want:
70% miniature re-skinned half-orc
30% re-skinned mistakenly deskinned cantaloupe

Just to say I was there and got to have a peak at the artwork and it looks [redacted].

[AlcoArgo]

Better late than never, right?

No. Better never than at all.

We don't need a new class or a new race, we need bug fixes, new content that works and lag free gaming.
