Can any help me find a famous FR gnome who is a Tinker type?    I know there is Nanfoodle, but he is more of an alchemist.  

Ideally a gnome would work best, but any other famous character in the realms will be great.   I just need to find one who would build an Apparatus of Kwalish or something similar.

Jan Jansen from the BG2 game is the only one coming to my mind at the moment. He is/was a inventor gnome illusionist/thief who made his own gadgets; a modified crossbow of speed (the flasher master bruiser), vision enhancing goggles and an energy absorbing leather suit.

oh yeah.   I actually used Jan all the way to end of ToB.   I have fond memories of him using his wand of wonder on Wulfgar and turning him to stone.  

Is there anything about the BG games that are considered FR canon?

they are liscenecd canon, which if yer the DM then they are canon.


officially canon on the otherhand, only would apply if there is a novel to go with said game.


there is also that gnome sorcerer from Neverwinter Nights.

DaRoni, or however that's spelled, was/is a gnome.  He's something of the DaVinci of the Realms, judging by the section his work appears in within the pages of Aurora's Catalogue.  Somewhere on the WotC site there was a write up and stat block for him during 3e, though I've no idea if its still there, or where one could find it these days.

Glimnock Klemwocket, from the LFR adventure CORE1-3 Sense of Wonder (download at www.livingforgottenrealms.com/adventures... ), is a gnome priest of Gond, with an interest for the history of drowned Lantan. Not sure if he qualifies as a tinkerer, but he could well be.

I'm not sure how any cleric of Gond wouldn't qualify as a tinker in at least some capacity, gnome or not...

Belwar Dissengulp - a svirfneblin (deep gnome) friend of Drizzt. Sure he's not an artificer or any type of mechanic, but he has a magical hammer and war-pick for hands! S'gotta count for sumthin. :D

Of course Nadul DaRoni !

I'll have to dig out my Aurara's Catalogue

Nanfoodle (Hunter's Blade Triology) is an alchemist.
