The Gnome Character Class

by Jim Bobb

In my OD&D campaign, the demihuman classes have been expanded to allow their players more of a chance to participate in the higher level games in the CM and M series of adventures. Unlike the revised Elf Class, Dwarf Class and Halfling Class, the Gnome Class is gathered from the scraps of information given in the Rules Cyclopaedia and GAZ 7, The Northern Reaches.
