<p>I do love Enigma bard's access to bardic lore, but you can get that at 2nd level with a multifarious muse. There are lots of gnomes in Absalom, and you could really attach yourself to one of Absalom's neighborhoods for inspiration.

</blockquote><p>I'll probably change the name though, Matei is too "varisian" to fit the flavor of what I'm going to create.
<p>I've pondered about playing a gnome, but I wouldn't really know how to roleplay it; I wouldn't want to play a stereotypical over-caffeinated gnome with an OCD for the PFS. I was leaning toward an half-human, probably half-elf.</p>rainzax wrote:There is the Pathfinder Hopeful Regional Background.
