    Does anyone play Gnome characters? If so, why? If not, why?

    And now, The Gnome Song:
    *music*
    Gnomes, Gnomes, Gnomes
    Tasty little Gnomes
    Toast 'em, fry 'em
    Bake 'em, buy 'em
    Tasty little Gnomes

    Cut 'em up with a razor blade
    Blow 'em up with a hand grenade
    Shoot 'em down with a laser gun
    Yesiree, they're lots of fun.

    I could never do it. I played through the game the first time as a half-ogre, and well... you know.

    It's sort of like in Fallout. No matter what sort of evil bastard motherfucker I was playing. Berserker, child-killer. Whoremonger. Spouse killer. Didn't faze me. But I could never bring myself to be a slaver.

    Yeah, I played a Gnome once, but the racial bonuses just didn't seem to outweigh the penalties. And then there's trying to find armor...so far Human seems to be the best race. Just my opinion, not too many flames, please.

    Median races are what I prefer...but the Minutes come a close second. Nice song Feldon...make that up yourself?

    As for what I can never bring myself to do in Arcanum, I have only been able to bring myself to kill Arbalah once. Call me a softie, but I have real trouble trying to kill him...I did it once, and I didn't like that character anyway.

    Thank you, and no, I didn't make that song up myself. My co-author was a friend from my childhood. I haven't heard from him in 20 years but I remember that song. Maybe he'll see the board. I need to borrow some money. :grin:

    How is him seeing the board going to result in you getting...oh, I see...

    Why would he lend you money if you haven't seen him in 20 years?

    So he would be guaranteed to not see me again for another 20 years.

    Wow, that's a really smart tactic...

    "Hi, what's it been 20 years?"

    "Can I borrow some money off you so we won't have to meet again for another 20 years?"

    "Um, no"

    "Give it to me bitch" Feldon bitch slaps his friend.

    "Okay, here you go...I don't want to see you for 20 years!"

    Actually, I was kidding about the money, but as far as the bitch-slapping goes, your scenario is accurate.

    Either that or a diplomat/haggler type...again, because of the willpower bonus, the haggle bonus and bonus to bad reactions.
