Enter the Mountain gnome +2 constitution, -2 intelligence and charisma. small size base speed 20 ft Dark vision: 60 ft Powerful Build. +2 racial saving throw vs transmutation +2 racial bonus to listen checks Gnomes with an intelligence of 10 or higher may cast the 0-level spells magehand, mending, open/close each once per day favored class: Transmuter The question, how wrong is it to have a small race with powerful build?
Salla 08-15-07, 04:25 PM	IThe question, how wrong is it to have a small race with powerful build? Small race, powerful build? Been done, IIRC. The Redcap in MM3 has it. Favored class should be wizard, though. 'Transmuter' isn't a class. :)
abyssalmole 08-15-07, 04:36 PM	I'm a 3.0'er (yes, I know, I'm ashamed) and the original gnome has illusionist as it's favored class. the question though, is, is it unbalancing, has anyone played a small race with pb and have insight?
Wolf72 08-15-07, 04:47 PM	well the stats seem to contradict the favored class ... which I really like btw, I don't think the powerful build would break this race. They seem like a degenerative bunch of misfits with ancestral history of magic use.
TiwazTyrsfist 08-15-07, 04:50 PM	3.0 gnomes favored class was Illusionist. Several off races have different Specilist Wizard types as a favored class. Also, I assume that Powerful Build on a small character allows them to be considered Medium, not large, right? Because small characters should not count as large for the purposes of weapon size and grappling and such.
abyssalmole 08-15-07, 05:26 PM	yes, thanks for the mention of that. Powerful build does make them medium, I see them as similar in size to a Dwarf, but just below the limit, instead of just above it. Yeah... transmuters with an intelligence penalty? effing weird... but I'm rolling with it.
