Re: (TFT) Where are those darn gnomes hiding?
Hi Jeff,
The gnomes have a 7 movement, which is pretty crippling as a PC race.
The other things try make up for it. If you wanted to say your gnomes can
get Mechanicer 1 memory cheaper, that is fine. But the gnomes in my
friend's campaign are ALL tinkerers and inventors so the rules are
written that way.
Holy cow, yes there is a typo. I'll fix it tomorrow. The second power
allows them to talk to ravens. The first can rarely cause the gnome to
be 'reminded' of something elsewhere or in the future.
Most of my races have a few things that they can spend attributes on.
Dwarves have fewer than many.
By the way, the rules do not say, but you can save up a couple attributes
of exp and spend that rather than boosting an attribute and then reducing
it for the magical power. However, that is how they are often bought in
our campaigns. I have been debating making that the rule, as it seems to
make more 'sense'.
We are in my friend's TFT campaign and my wife is playing a gnome.
She has not bought any of the gnome powers so those are untested.
The other advantages and disadvantages have been. So far she is
finding the low MA and low ST pretty big disadvantages.
Thanks for your comments!
Warm regards, Rick
