So I am putting together a gnomish oracle of battle for a Carrion Crown game. I really want to simulate a gnomish fighting style with my weapon and feat selection. Improved dirty trick comes to mind, as I can imagine small characters such as halflings and gnomes resorting to such tactics against bigger folk. Pulling pants down and punching people in the groin is what being a small person is all about, right? However, I want Gorum to be his source of diving power. By the fluff I am not sure if Gorum would agree with such tactics. Part of me says that it is ok as long as it is not poison, disease, or ambush. The other part of me says that pantsing somebody could be seen as dishonorable in the eyes of a war god.
Anyone have any insight on this one?

Well, I'm hardly the expert on the gods of Golarion, but from what I've read, Gorum cares more that a small humanoid has the courage and guts to fight than the manner in which that little bugger fights. The aphorism is 'Will you fight?', not 'Will you fight fair?'. It's about courage and resolve. It is not cowardace to punch your enemy in the b&#$*s if he's trying to kill you, it's just sensible.
