A living gnome incurs a -1 to both attacks and damage rolls (flailing). Of course a gnome is a throwable weapon with a 10 ft increment or 5 ft if alive (again flailing). A living gnome takes damage equal to damage dealt on each attack.

Actually, Small sized creatures do 1d8, according to Ultimate Combat.

Only if the defender is denied his dexterity bonus to AC.

That's never come up during a game for you? I think I see it a couple of times a year on the rules forum.

Barbarians get a rage power that lets them use anyone they've pinned as a weapon.

Gnomes aren't slashing, they're blunt.

What if the gnome is wearing boot knives?

What does a masterwork gnome look like?

If you use a Gnome Sorcerer it would have orc in its name and could count as a martial weapon for Half-orcs.

In a game i'm currently playing we have a gnome alchemist named Theo Maxwell. Me (Human witch) and the rest of our party (Aasimar Cavalier, half-elf monk and Orc Ranger)had to sneak into a church of Asmodeus to acquire something of importance to the session. Theo had been recognized by the church for earlier acts of kleptomania and was barred from entry. So we simply stuffed him into the Ranger's bag and waltzed on in. Our luck turned sour when we get caught and surrounded by the church's inquisitors. One of them says "we have maces, and we know how to use them!" in a threatening manner. I look to the Ranger, nod and he pulls a demented-looking gnome holding a lit bomb out of his bag. Which leads to me replying "oh yeah? well we have a Theo, and we know how to use it!", hilarity ensued thereafter.

I know my post is about a year and a half late...
But if the gnome weapon is a raging gnome barbarian and is wielded by a raging barbarian, can the rage modifiers double? ;)

the prophecy has been fulfilled
twice risen the thread of gnome
soon beiber will just go home


(as long as someone has already necro'd it)

Our group joked about attaching two helmets to the ends of a chain for a giant monk to use gnome-chuks....


How is this a joke? This is a dream. I'm putting "throwin' gnomes" in my game. Add random splash acid, cold, electric, or fire damage for "gnome scientist-bomb"?

I take the feat. (Smiles at the player next to him) this is LONG overdue...

If I use Enlarge Person while wielding a flailing gnome, does it also become a large sized... er... medium... gnome?

I'd like to put the Returning property on my gnome, too, so he can't get away while I'm sleeping.
