As someone who finds spirituality within consciousness, I gotta say, the premise behind Pantheon Gnomes is fantastic! That said, I hope people keep criticizing them. We don't want the master race to be over populated.
I for one will be playing gnome wizard. :) I like that some changes have happened, that they are a leetle bit sci-fi..I see some folks say ..well those aren't real Gnomes. I think they are "real" gnomes evolved..:)
