05-12-06, 04:21 PM I found a race out of the quintessential gnome (Mongoose publishing) that is called a garden gnome. They get a +2 dev, -2 str. They can turn into a statue for a +10 hide and even if the statue isn't supposed to be there poeple acknowledge it and walk along. I was thinking of taking raised by bears from quintessential barbarian, I wouldn't be able to speak (unless I spent a skill point to talk) and would get a +2 str. So I would have no penalties on this character. O ya the reason I chose them in the first place is that they're a tiny race. So I am going to try and build with these important things listed in the order I want them (Most important to least important) AC, Dmg, Saves. I was thinking of going through some swashbuckler so I can weapon finesse, but I can't decide If it is really important if I am going to try and do dmg anyway. I am looking for a way to get my dex on dmg also.
I am 3rd level and would appreciate a build planned up to 5 at least so I can start off mean, I should be able to take it from there. (Prefer a 20 lvl build though). I get the standard 2,700 gold and would like good equipment to start. I was wondering, small characters get equipment at half price, do tiny characters get it at one fourth price?

As far as doing damage with dex the only way I know in which that is done is with the Champion of Corellon PrC from Races of the Wild, but you need to be an elf to take that class.
