			::: The problem with 3.5 is that it implicitly encourages you to apply things like age modifiers, templates, HD/level adjustments, etc to NPCs, who are probably going to be ignored or murdered after less than 1 minute of PC attention. In practice, you are probably going to spend more time creating the NPC than the players will ever spend interacting with it. Maybe other people can avoid this and just make up arbitrary shit, but I can't--the rules are there, so I use them. In any case, "not thinking about it" is the most productive and healthy solution. --[[User:Msallen\|Msallen]]

	FWiW, for a point of game flavor, Gnomes DO follow one trope of traditional fantasy - they generally have gnomish names that are long and complex and awkward, so they usually adopt a name in common (Ubrekti). Since they think everyone else is kind of dim, they usually overcompensate and go for very simple, monosyllable words. It's not any sort of hard and fast rule, of course, but I assume that when I see gnomes with boring names that it's sort of like a Chinese adopting some white-bread english name because they're tired of dealing with people trying to wrestle with their "real" name. ;)		FWiW, for a point of game flavor, Gnomes DO follow one trope of traditional fantasy - they generally have gnomish names that are long and complex and awkward, so they usually adopt a name in common (Ubrekti).

			: Yeah, this is more of his stage name, as he entertains throughout the region. A longer Gnomish name is cool, It would be something like Gari------- Noov-------. I'll keep the long name thing in mind for the other peeps, too. Thanks for the refresher. -[[User:Mattie\|Mattie]]
