Precisely. Now, dude2490 is excellently demonstrating the proper usage of the Punching bag forum.
And yes, gnomes suck. IF they were medium, they'd have a Dex penalty, ya hear?
Their deity dresses like a rich, stupid person.
They're not greedy, but have really crappy beard-wisps.

They make bad bards. Half-elves and elves make better bards.
They can talk to "burrowing animals". Yeah, that's what the druid and ranger are for. Plus, they can cast more speak with animal spells that affect more animals.
Spell-like abilities? What spell-like abilities? I see a bunch of cantrips that any rookie sorcerer can cast all the f***ing time.
You're better off with a dwarf or halfling.
