04-11-07, 11:05 PM Shadowcraft mage is the obvious one, though high con suits any caster class.

Mounted gnomes can be fun .. I have a female gnome paladin that is great to roleplay though she struggles to keep her mount alive in some mods.

Then there is always Bard .. it is the favored class afterall.

04-12-07, 12:01 AM Gnomes make good druids, especially for wildshaping, since the strength penalty won't matter, but the con boost will, and no mental penalties...alternately a gnome arcane hierophant...

04-12-07, 01:50 PM I'm working on putting together a gnome Alchemist/Dispeller. Basically at the beginning of the mod I would hand out potions to everyone and tell them that that is my buffers for them. I haven't quite figured out the best way to make this work though. I've just been looking at straight non-specialized wizard, but the more I look at it, I'm starting to wonder if going Mystic Theurge wouldn't be better.:confused:

if you hand out potions, you will burn YOUR gold !:rolleyes:

one of the benefits of having a "buffing" caster is that the BDFs don't need to spend valuable actions for buffing.

buffing with potions is somehow limited to levels one to three spells, with not more than 5 caster levels, after that it becomes really expensive.

if you can manage to always be the second arcane caster, you might get away with this tactic, but after level 5, my monk would dearly like to have a mage armor cast by a level 5 wizard - and handing over a pearl of power - than quaffing one potion per hour . . . . .
