Could you elaborate?
The 3.5 PRC is here
The PF PRC is here
You don't need the PRC to make the concept work IMHO, but it doesn't hurt.
The trickster part is well suited to gnomes in many settings and the gnomish penchant for illusion can synergize nicely.
If the game is very combat focused it may be a suboptimal choice though.

You read my mind. If we were playing Pathfinder, I'd give it a shot. :)

The tone didn't bother me as much as the relentless hijacking of the thread.
I've probably been guilty of expressing myself with more hostility, but it's probably not a good sign when the bitter, angry, old minarchist thinks we might want to take a breath.
EDIT: I see it got locked. Sorry GeminiG and Woody; we gave it a shot.

Yeah, I forgot about the light penalties, but that's also a problem with the Shade template too. Too bad you aren't playing PF, or you could try an APG witch with the Shadow focus (maybe switch the wiz/witch spellcasting progression for the sorcerer one so you still have a spontaneous caster?).
P.S. Is it bad of me when I told my girl that it's normally going for $80, but when she told me how much I paid for it, I replied ... twenty five? *looks guilty* It seemed much easier to say than $40.

More then a few wands, particularly flight, and maybe things such as web to slow down or stall opponents.
I would also go with a backpack full of things such as Tanglefoot bags.Then judicious use of lightning bolts once they are stuck.

At least he will get to see some of the trolls on the boards. He was venting, due to some recent events in his life. he was referring to an event that caused him to leave a place he was crashing at for the past three months and he payed rent. It has left him literally living out of his vehicle(minivan). Our stepfather doesn't trust him yet due to his recent past, so he is not allowed to stay at the parents house without supervision. At least he put it in the right area of the boards.

Are you kidding? I didn't even know they made shoes that expensive. Of course, I buy almost all of my clothing at a gas station, so I probably wouldn't know.

True. Still, I hate to have someone new to the community see the worst of it that quickly. From now on, tell him to vent here, or at least in the Things In Life That Suck thread.

I have hard to fit feet (darn Dutch genes! I blame them!), and was directed to a specialty store here in Houston.
$450 shoes.
Then the clerk walked up to me, and for some reason decided I wasn't worth his time. He was rude and dismissive.
I'm sorry, but if you expect me to pay $450 for shoes that aren't diamond studded, you'd better be prepared to treat me politely at least.
I've never gone back. And honestly, if he had been nice, I don't think I could have swallowed that price tag. Having to wait until I'm visiting West Michigan to find shoes that fit stinks, but I need more than one pair every other year. :|

Whatever you do; never go into a Nordstrom's. You will spontaneously combust looking at the prices on something you take for granted being much less expensive elsewhere.
I still cringe going into Macy's despite the fact that my old man has been working with Federated Stores longer than I've been alive and can get a decent discount. But it is nothing compared to Nordstrom's. Or any other high end fashion store.

In my desperate search for shoes other than flip flops and men's running shoes that fit, I decided to try Nordstrom's in desperation. And yes...they set things up so it can be difficult to see the price. When you do, after you've wasted some poor saleperson's time...you feel like a heel, but seriously, they're grey and black pumps - not worth $350.
On the bright side, Nordstrom's was still actually cheaper than the specialty store...

I've been known to drop $200 on chemical resistant, ESD, polymer toed safety boots, but I can't generally find something like that at the local Wal mart.
On the other hand I'm so cheap I'm still furious that the price of Ramen noodles and other cheep staples has gone up 5 cents a pack.
