What would an appendix N gnome be like???

Post by vivsavage »

I know that there are one or two gnome classes floating about, but they are essentially based on traditional D&D gnomes. But would would an appendix N gnome be like? Some type of earth spirit? A Shannara gnome? I'm looking for ideas to design my own version, and would welcome ideas.

I just happened to be reading Enchantress at World's End last night, and gnomes were mentioned.

Albeit briefly. :roll:

My own first take is in here: http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/vie ... 74&t=42091

...which I will be revisiting and posting on my blog at some point.

I like your version; its not just a riff on classic D&D gnomes.

I'm totally gonna design a gnome based on those, with a little Shannara gnome sprinkled in!
