Burghal Gnome or human

[Rolis]

I was thinking of making a wizard or a sorcerer and was planning on making him a burghal gnome or human. I was just wondering, with the low health for pures.. does this make it more difficult. BG only have a base health of 90. Do wizards and sorcerers take hits often(die of nicks and blood loss)? Or are most deaths from manuever attacks and crits?

Be cool. Make an elf.

My wizard usually dies from crits, not really blood loss since she's rarely alone when she hunts anyway :D

Between humans and gnomes to play... I'd personally pick a gnome since I'm human irl anyway. That and my gnomish ranger kicks ass.

My human wizard hunts solo and the only thing that kills him are instant death crits. Stay light and you'll avoid most of those, too.

If the choice is X or humans, the answer is always humans.

Burghal gnomes do have their racial +10 bonus to INT. Which means he'll level faster than a human. They do have their downsides with encumberance though. Generally, gnomes are a lot more fun to play.

Let's face it, if you're not a Gnome or a Halfling you're just not cool. ;)

[Snapp]

Humans are boring. Be a gnome!

Let's face it, if you're not a Gnome or a Halfling you're just not cool.

Because nothing says cool like being considered snackfood for Dhe'nar, or being mistaken for a barstool.

Which means he'll level faster than a human.This is not necessarily the case (even if INT factors into absorption in any appreciable manner). One would have to examine how fast the character got from muddled (or whatever "go hunting" state) to fried (or whatever "go back" state) as each race, take into account how much more frequently deaths and catastrophic injuries would occur, and know the exact difference between absorption to know which would level faster.

That's hard to figure out. Let's re-examine the facts.

Fact: Humans are awesome.
