| Gnomes are intelligent dexterous beings. Though small of stature they
have good Vitality. Vitality is important to the Gnome for reasons other
than the obvious since their resistance to mental based magical spells
improves the higher their Vitality is.
Their low Strength and Speed might rule them out for professions with
high demands in these areas. Their strong points combined with average
Piety and Senses suggest them to lines of work in the magical professions
or in the role of a Rogue or Bard.
We can see from the chart they qualify most highly for the Mage profession.
Although the Gnome has the best male portrait for the normal conception
of what a Mage should look like, it is hardly good reasoning to limit them
to this profession.
Although it may not be apparent a Gnome makes a pretty fair choice for
Hybrid professions. Due to their good starting Intelligence, average Piety
and Senses you could develop their attributes looking more to the physical
aspects of melee combat. Their magic development would progress well in
these professions so you would not need to spend many attribute points
to Intelligence or Piety unless their expert skills were desired. |
