I am looking to play a good old fashion Gnome Illusionist. He is going to have a high int, between 16 and 18 and a low wis around an 8.

I have took some ideas from some other forums for some personality quirks.

Refuses to bathe, because "That's when they'll get you..."

Believes that all gods are just shams created by clerics to get money

Does not understand the concept of names. He'll call people by their titles, and give his own if they ask his name. When someone introduces himself by a name, he assumes it's a title or description. "My name's Bob." "What does bob mean?" or "Today, I met a bob. I can not yet distinguish it from an ordinary male human, but I'm sure I will learn more in time."

Always gets a second opinion from his familiar

Cries whenever anyone brings up wild elves, will not say why

Has the attention span of a goldfish.

Is always cleaning spectacles or pushing them up their nose.

Constantly comes up with elaborate solutions to simple problems. This would be good for a character with low wisdom and high intelligence.

I think he will end up taking effigy master.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas for feats or quirks maybe some backround

Thanx

I once played a wizard with 1 or 2 levs in fighter. He had a low wis so I was saying he was an officer of an elven army turned nerc after his entire party was tortured and killed by a mind flayer. He does not discuss his escape and has since pursued the life of magic trying to destroy the evil that tore his mind. Level 2 fighter/ 4 Wizard if i remember right. Didn't get to play him long but it was an interesting combo to work with.
