    I always imagined gnomes as some weird half dwarf, half halfling (<- yeah, that sounded better in my head than written out like that). Having a more compact, stocky body (like a dwarf) but not the 'cute as a little baby human' like halflings. I don't know shit about the proper lore though, so I don't know anything about gnomes other than what the games portrait. I tend to almost never play any shortie other than dwarves though. Dwarves rule. Or like we used to say back in the day, they "pwn".

    Gnomes are cuter because they use illusion magic.

    I'm really glad that the halflings are winning this poll.
    I have sworn to have myself renamed into "Shandyr_the_Mad" if the gnomes were winning.

    Oh my...

    A challenge of sorts has just occurred!

    Vote Gnome!

    Vote now!
    Seriously?

    On one hand, I prefer gnomes.

    On the other, I like watching you suffer in defeat.

    So I will just abstain.

    Hi there mate, I see we have something in common :smiley:
    We do. But unlike you, I have actually crushed his hopes multiple times where you've only made feeble attempts.

    Gnomes are natural illusionists. Who else is a natural illusionist? The magnificent story teller, the talented film maker and the magician that entertains children on their birthday.

    Halflings, while awesome and adorable, are natural thieves. You know who else are natural thieves? Burglars, muggers and politicians.

    The choice is clear!

    Errrm... You usually crush my hopes in defeating my arch nemesis @Shandyr ? So... Your just @Shandyr 's stooge.

    Be a man gnome!

    Vote gnome!

    I usually do not like gnomes and do not see their purpose compared with the other short peoples; to me gnomes are quite a thematic mess ranging from burrow-living garden-gnome to purple-haired alchemist-engineer - everything a gnome does, a dwarf or halfling can do as well.

    BUT: The gnomes in Baldur's Gate have much character to them (even more so than the halflings).

    It takes a true natural illusionist to trick himself.

    Gnomes never tried to eat me in the planar sphere.

    There are no cannibal gnomes in Dark Sun.

    Depends are we talking fat gnomes or small-elf like gnomes and hobbits or more elf-like halflings? In the realms the new gnomes are ^.^

    I'd say take your pick, my current perception is halflings are like tiny humans while gnomes are spry fey-like beings.

    Like
    gnomes are to halflings as elves are to humans imo.

    indeed, and it is conspicuous that you didn't mention adorability at all when talking about the gnomes :P
