Anirtak can you open up discussion? I think you've recruited us and this might be better in discussion. You can also put up more if anyone shows interest in recruitment.
Just my 2 cents.
Open.

WEAKNESS TAG: New at This?
QUEST: Explore a Dungeon
I'm not sure how good this is, but it's at least a good starting point. I am thinking of trying to work in a tag that emphasizes she avoids stabbing people and if she does have a sword, she focuses primarily on disarming her opponent and getting away, but that if she is AT that point in the first place, things have gone sideways REALLY really bad...

"We don't 'Ka-Fricking-Boom' Here" wins a gold star of some kind....
Sorcerers need tags that specify effects. They lack the wizard's flexibility, but their ability to keep casting is much greater. I'm not entirely sure what effect "Mentalist Magic" produces. My best guess is Woody Harrelson in Now you See Me/'These aren't the droids you're looking for' sort of thing?
I feel like Hardy and Nimble is two different things. But, as I suggested with Trails, you could add to the Rock Gnome tag. So... Nimble Rock Gnome and Hardy would work.
Overall, though, really nice!

Get Smart was a fun movie! ;)
I wasn't sure how to indicate the Beguiler class' features that benefit casting on unaware opponents or "feinting" with spells, which is why I put in the Cloaked Casting tag, but that meant I can't use two tags for "Illusion Spells" and "Enchantment Spells," so I tried to come up with a tag that could reasonably combine the two (even then, this doesn't really cover some spells on the Beguiler spell list that are more like Divination or Abjuration-style spells).
Yeah, the combination was another attempt to represent the gnome's CON bonus along with the advantages that come with being Small-size (while "Little Gal" represents the downsides and lack of physical strength), to accommodate the ability to talk with burrowing animals.
The items with question marks are the ones I'm struggling a bit to conceive. I'm a little unsure on what a "rock gnome quest" might look like, especially since Greyhawk's gnomes don't have an intrinsic motivation to explore and stuff like the Bleaching that impacts Pathfinder's gnomes. And I'm a little sketchy on the "New At This" tag, mainly because I'm trying to figure out a "weakness" of what's essentially the Beguiler's roguish elements where Sorcerous Trickster covers its sorcerous aspects.
Remember, we are at best approximating these classes. You're trying to represent a primary caster's full casting abilities with a single theme, AND you're emphasizing the stealth casting with that theme as well. That is going to put a strain on things. I like "cloaked casting," It's a great tag that defines her as far as what kind of casting she does.
So, there probably isn't a generic "rock gnome quest" because who knows what gnomes really want? But you can think of something that is important to her, personally, as a gnome. Keep the Burrow safe or Find Out What Happened to Bob. Though... new experiences can work. It's a bit generic, but it is a good reason to start adventuring. Not every hero needs a tragic backstory that compels them into the life.
New at This is harder. It's not actually a bad weakness, though. The other obvious option would be something to the effect of "stick to the shadows" but that's not going to play well with the merchant side of things.
Obviously up to you but I’d thought that we were VERY rare. So, probably the first ever seen for most people
We should probably also figure out how humans react to you. Has the average joe seen Tabaxi before? Is there a Tabaxi neighborhood in town? Or will you be the first they've ever seen?
That works. Come join us in discussion!
