Gnome: I don't know why but I find gnomes to be awesome! I haven't been able to find a local D&D group but I can't wait to find one and make a gnome ranger/fighter who will prestige class into a Gnome Giant Killer. My future gnome ranger will be named "Fenn McUil" and he might tamper with a level or two of artificer as well. Going to have a dog mount, a blonde haired rotteweiller looking dog named Boru.
Also have an idea in my head for a gnome wizard, found an awesome mini by Reaper minis that is a gnome magic user with staff riding a frog.
