in the DW forum were having a discussion about how to bring more people to RK. a relativly simple idea came to mind of adding Gnomes to the allowed races. they are very similar to dwarves also gnomes "historicly" have had more friendly relations than dwarves with any other race as they are almost cousins of a sort. this would give RK a nice boost in players i believe by having another race that doesent have fighter as its prefered class.
Perhaps deep gnomes only allowed in RK, just for RP reasons. Besides, not that it would be too different. Everyone prefers deep gnomes over regular ones anyway .
Actually since they allready have Duergar and Hill Dwarves working together it wouldn't be unreasonable to see Snirfneblin and the rest of the gnomes living there as well.
Svirfneblin are crazy hard to level. Which makes you really question whether it was worth it later when some of the benefits start disappearing due to better equipment.
well i see this has support atleast tho i dont agree with the just the deep gnomes suggestion as its ment to increase players not drive them off with a 3 ecl
Yeah, I didn't realize that the base gnome was called Rock Gnome. Besides, how would ADDING a class drive people away? Theres plenty of deep gnomes out there, they're like wizard gnome drow.
Being a dev doesn't necessarily mean you write code or even work with the toolset. Most of the hardest decisions are balance issues - implementation is just the details...
Oh, and he has done a heck of a lot of 'deving' work too in his day...
