I think Belkar is somewhat right. They will be at war with gnomes. Currently gnomes are PCs, but in 4th ed they will be monsters. Get in that premptive strike now! Kill them before they turn! It's just like if someone gets bit by a zombie really. :smallbiggrin:

Yep, sorry, but Gnomes arn't a main player race anymore. Which is a real shame, cause I like gnomes. Some of my best friends are gnomes.

Would you say Dwarfs, Halflings, Elves were monsters in 3.5 cos they are in MM? or aasimar? Merfolk?

being ONLY present in MM is a bit of a downgrade, but they will still be playable, they just do not get as much support.

Now if gnomes get made more monstrous, maybe. Hints in R&C that they would be connected to the dark fey. Whether that has been redone or not, I do not know.

Dwarves, elves, halflings? No. Aasimar, merfolk, orcs? Yes.

People think of things like pseudo-dragons and displacer beasts as monsters, and the fact that they have level adjustments and intelligence of more than 10 probably won't change this.
Had a displacer beast paladin once. Named Mittens. It was the first time my group and I had met up with full base attack bonus, natural attacks, and a free action attack weapon. So many attacks...

Or, preferably - don't kill it. Not all traps are deadly. If it screams in pain, then you've found a trap and should poke the trap some more just to make sure. With the gnome.

Or train it to Detect Magic, and use it to find magic items - see the early stages of OOTS involving a paralyzed V.

That's merely your opinion. I never liked Halflings and Half-Orcs were fun but didn't seem that useful with all their penalties, at least not for the classes I play.

Pft, good luck with that. Tieflings are more popular. We the oppressed Tieflings have risen up and cast down the less popular gnome. To the MM with you! Off our lawns too! There shall be no solace for you! Belkar and the Tieflings will destroy you all! Of course you also forget our allies the Warforged, Dragonborn and Eladrin. You stand NO chance whatsoever. Can't say I blame you for forgeting though, without a high chair you couldn't possibly see how badly you are outnumbered! :smallbiggrin: And as far as MM? Your wrong.

I think the biggest problem with gnomes is that they don't have a real niche. They are small, but so are halflings. Some are curious, but so are halflings.

And the aspect where Gnomes like magic? Well, Elves like magic even more. Gnomes just don't have their own niche. Alchemy is just too small, too unuseful, so it doesn't count.

For all of you who haven't read Rich's section about creating a new world in the gaming section of the site, I suggest you read this:

I enjoy playing gnomes. I think they should be filled out, given more detail rather than removing them. The biggest problem with gnomes is that people don't know how to play them. But with their -2 str, +2 con they make better spellcasters than elves (elves have +2 dex, -2 con).

Where does it say that? I looked at the SRD entries, and saw

Aasimars are humans with some trace of celestial blood in their veins, and tieflings have some fiendishness in their family tree.
It doesn't explicitly state that tieflings are human, but it heavily implies it.

Also,

Many tieflings are indistinguishable from humans. Others have small horns, pointed teeth, red eyes, a whiff of brimstone about them, or even cloven feet.
Gnomes are definitely not "indistinguishable from humans."

I didn't see it say anywhere that there are non-human tieflings, unless it's in a non-core book (I'm not going to take the time to look through all of my books for this).

You know, you're right. Considering that half-fiends are explicitly the children of fiends and any mortal creature, and the lack of any logical reason why just human half-fiends would be able to produce children who would be Planetouched, I'm inclined to put that down to "they let the same D&D writer who determined human racial abilities write the Planetouched entry, and he forgot that there are actually PC races other than human," but I can't deny that the Monster Manual states for aasimar, and heavily implies for tieflings, that their mortal heritage is always human.

Tieflings are NOT a template. Not in 2cd ed, 3.0, 3.5 or 4th ed. In 4th ed they are a race of their own. They are not half-breeds anymore. They had their own empire. They are more like the half-elves in Eberron who breed true.

Okay, I love Gnomes, so, put me on the list, Oh Listputteroner.
But, it's true. Gnomes are often played as comic relief, and not as useful characters. Aside from me, the people in my groups who play gnomes often let themselves die and build new characters, or play them so stereotypically that we all get fed up and kill it.
But, the same is true for Tieflings. Yeah, gnomes can be high pitched and obnoxious, but Tieflings are all whiny and emo. (Yeah, it's a stereotype. Sue me.)

On a related side note, who here has played in Dawnforge? It's a third party D&D setting with 5 elven races, 4 human races, tieflings, lizardfolk, Yuan-ti, (full, not half) Orcs, gnomes, dwarves, and minotaurs as the playable races. At each level you get your normal abilities from your class, PLUS a special trait/transformation from you RACE.
My point: Dawnforge came out years ago, and everything I've heard (except for the game mechanics shift) about 4ed was already done in this 3rd party setting.
Gives y'all another thing to hate on WotC for. :smallamused:

Alright, more members of the save the gnomes foundation. Mabye we should start a petition and send it in to WotC. Mabye ask them to either
a: Replace tieflings with gnomes
b: Include both races
c: Create two PhBs, one with gnomes and one with tieflings. If we called it a marketing scheme they would probably do it. We should make our own save the gnomes thread.

Gnomes ARE monsters in 4th ed. Kill them before they turn! You know someone who is a gnome, do them a favor, kill them now. Do you want to remember your gnome friend as is or as a violent monster that they will become? Belkar is our savior from the gnomes! :smallbiggrin:
BURN BELKAR

Q. How do you make a gnome useful?
A. Kill it, tie it to a rope, and use it to find traps.

I recently found that better than a dead gnome on a rope is a live gnome in heavy armor. Our party recently got a gnome paladin *shudder*, so we adopted a new strategy - instead of searching for traps or scouting for enemies, we have the paladin charge into the area. In the last session alone, he set off about half a dozen traps and got beaten up by three consecutive enemies.

Kill the gnomes. Anything that needed a +1 LA sub-race (whisper gnome) to be interesting is out the damn door. Heck, for that matter, kill the tieflings and aasimars, too. What's the point? It's usually never a good idea build-wise to have a LA, and frankly, there's no way to run a campaign with 675 different races and cultures that makes any sense without it ending up a theoretical anthropology seminar. With dice. Good riddance, you tinker schmucks.

Except that in 4th ed Tieflings have no LA. So please read up before you post something like that.

What is with the hatred towards Gnomes? They not only invent the best magic items!! Leave the Gnomes alone or else!

*shows army of epic gnomes, all over level 20, and more powerful than druids. Yes, they are THAT powerful*

Will anyone else help me defend the gnomes?

If they removed elves? That'd be even better.

You know...

I'd be ecstatic if they removed humans from the playable races in the Player's Handbook. Of course they never would, not even if they removed all the others, but it would definitely spark my interest in whatever edition they did it in.
