DDOGamer: Gnomes

[Gratch]

?? 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!). ??

Hmmm... gnome-mobile. So if a snow-mobile drives on top and crushes snow beneath it. Okay, I can get behind this use of gnomes.

Any chance they could add a Minotaur race instead? You know to ride in the mobile that drives over the gnome-road. Tough driving at first with all those bulbous noses, but once it gets compacted down a bit...

Or maybe kobold player race. Ones that have bullrush.

Oh well I've heard Sev say he really likes gnomes... so I guess we're stuck with them. Maybe if they're going with new pudgy short models of this sort they can make some with spikey ears and finally give us goblins (nonHob) in a D&D game.

Gnomes are reel:

They invented Smart Cars:

2 Words, "Gnome Artificers"

[Enderoc]

No.

Hi Welcome....

Sorry about your Gnomophobia

[Seikojin]

I hope their racial tree takes them down various subrace paths, like arcane gnome, deep gnome, etc.

Wrong thread?
Those are Minions.

[JonD]

At least now we'll have a reliable way to tell the time in-game. We weren't able to make sundials before, because we couldn't put a gnome on...


( Gnomon - and I'm sorry )

[Lonnbeimnech]

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.

[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.

* But .... has anyone danced a Slaad yet?

An awesome question. A new dance is a must.

?? Oh, give me a gnome, / With a +2 STR tome / And a gear-driven type of some sleigh. ???

I just wish the fora (sorry, "forums") would allow certain alt-code characters. The "?" are really supposed to be eighth notes.

Oh... Haz a sad now. My ANSI chars look just like yours.


(An obvious failure on my part to Preview Post)


(13 & 14 not supported by Winblows. Wonder if they looked right on a Mac?)

[cdbd3rd]

Hmmm... gnome-mobile. ...

Gnome mobile? Gotya...

[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!

[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

[geoffhanna]

Nice sig image!

[Heynone]

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.

[salmag]

Finally!!!!!
