perrrfect!!!
I am trying to talk my group into trying the game out and if anyone wants to take a stab at the Dhampir I would appreciate it! 
I understand the want to leave the Hobbit out, for the reasons stated above. But what are the reasons for leaving out the Gnome? There isn’t really any precedent for them adventuring, but they are a classic fantasy race. Is it due to the Dwarf taking up the Machinist class that there isn’t any ‘room’ for the Gnome? How about Gnome Illusionist? That seems to have been usurped by the Elven Enchanter?
Why such hate of the little people??? :-/
John, I think one of the high-paying backers requested a gnome character class, so we should be seeing one eventually. Don’t despair.
Yes, it’s confirmed. In fact, I just finished drafting the gnome today. Gnomes are hybrids between dwarves and elves with a variety of illusion spell-like abilities instead of dwarven proficiencies.
The Gnome Trickster is a thief-illusionist with spell-like powers, arcane dabbling, prestidigitation, and light magery.
A Thri-Kreen or Phraints would be a nice Sword & Sorcery flavoured race to add.
Don’t forget the Deodanth…
