Gnome obsession gives *7* increases because it also applies to any Lore skill from your background as well.

Yeah, I was about to say, he was massively underselling how good Gnome Obsession is. What he described was the General Feat Additional Lore. Only Gnomes get this super version.

A note on Inventive Offensive: it says the weapon retains the trait until you successfully hit AND deal damage with the weapon. So you could pick shove or trip and use that weapon solely for that ability (maybe dual wielding?) and never lose the trait.

True fact: I’ve already subbed, but I liked the video because the hummingbird said so lmao

I'm playing a gnome with the Changeling heritage (which gives me access to occult spells) and I'm having a blast. Gnomes are just so much better in Pathfinder IMO

I had a D&D gnome character who was a lore bard who took a 1 lvl dip into draconic sorcerer (for better AC and a better damaging cantrip). After awakening his dragon blood he decided that he would seek to become a true dragon so that he could spend an eternity gathering a dragon horde worth of knowledge and lore. Might be fun to remake him in Pathfinder.

I think you might be mistaken concerning the second part of the Wellspring Gnome Heritage. I understand it to read that if you gain a primal innate spell from a gnome ancestry feat, it's still a spell chosen from the primal list, just it's tradition changes to your chosen tradition, not that you get to choose a spell from whatever tradition you chose.

Yeah that was a mistake I didn't notice at first, but I think you're correct. The text says "Whenever you gain a primal innate spell from a gnome ancestry feat, change its tradition from primal to your chosen tradition." so you still is limited to Primal spell list, but your spell will be arcane/occult/divine. It works similar to Adapted Cantrip feat from the Human Ancestry.

This is correct. When gaining a primal cantrip or spell from a gnome ancestry feat, it still comes from the primal list, but is counted as an occult spell for purposes of its typing, resistances, and dc’s.

I currently only run 5e, but have been learning Pathfinder. I use secret checks, and the fact they have a mechanical foundation in Pathfinder makes me wanna switch even more.

hearing "gnomes are incredible" makes me so happy I love gnomes. Have every since 3.5 brought up the lore of them having like 18 different names because why not. I have used that rule for every gnome I have ever made(so 80% of my characters). And 2e added the best bit of lore ever. Bleaching. Why is this gnome adventuring? Because if not, they'll get fantasy cancer and probably die. My current toon, an alchemist, is insane. He's a traveling merchant whos also an adherent to Cayden Cailean(the best god in pf, fight me) and has a different name for every region he visits. My GM had fun digging through the list I sent her so she can add whatever name/region combo she wants, and his name within his specific church/bar is based off a drinking game where everyone else adds a syllable to your name and they keep going until you say 'stop' and you then have to buy a round for every syllable in length it is. I love him so much and I hate Covid for stuttering the game. But yeah, gnomes are great and they get too many awesome 1st lv ancestry feats

Gnome Changeling, my favorite thing in the world. Gives you dark vision and many things the gnomes were slightly lacking in. I love a good Slag May Gnome. there are others with more magic but honestly between the gnome cantrip and cold iron claws there is not much else to need. I have also played as a Ranger, Druid, Sorceress, and Barbarian. With this ancestry and heritage build. I am still hoping that a Pet spider will be added to the list of those we can have as a beast master, because building them onto a scorpion while fun is just not the same. Maybe one day, I know they are beasts of burden in Absalom, as it's in the flavor text in the margins, but it's easy to miss if you are not looking for it. Some GMs will not allow them. I have been lucky to get to use mine.

The weirdest part about the Burrow gnome thing is: Rats don't have a burrow speed in the game. So gnomes can't talk with them. I find that sad, so we allowed rats and mice to be part of it :P also... So a Gnome can start with 10 Languages :P

Hey I played with your Gnome "Professor [very Roman name]" that one time! I disagree with your opinion on the sensate gnome heritage "You see all colors as brighter, hear all sounds as richer, and especially smell all scents with incredible detail." 1 you're constantly, passively, passively under the best and (not worst) of light psychedelics. 2. Your smell allows you to perceive the universe with as much nuance detail and meaning as hearing is to us (but sensate gnomes are better at hearing too)

I love the chapter thing, it makes it super easy to navigate videos

I subscribed 1. because this is excellent content, and 2. because the birdy told me to

Getting ready to start playing in my 1rst PF2e campaign I had already decided on a Gnome swashbuckler, but after this and your Swashbuckler videos, I am convinced this build will be one of the most fun and engaging characters I have played.

yeah a video about my favorite Pathfinder ancestry :) you missed one thing about gnome obsession: You not only gain skill increases in the lore skill you picked, but also in the lore skill you got from you background, so its more like 1 feat = 7 skill increases

Glad you put this here. I just watched and thought the same thing. My Gnome Bard has Lore Architecture from Background and Lore Engineering from this feat. Level 7, he is a Master Architectural Engineer!

I really want to play an "old" gnome traveling merchant thaumaturgist. Someone who's been around the block a few times, picked up some cool trinkets. And has an answer to most situations.

So, Gnomes are the David Bowie of Pathfinder... I get it. It all makes sense due to Laughing Gnome.

During the Play Test, I made a gnome cleric who multiclassed as Champion: total defence. The fun part for me was eventually, I got the Strength enhancing item, shooting me from Str 8 to Str 18. I went from healing damage sponge to spell smacker. Also, Vivacious Conduit is great. Yes, I'd like to heal as much HP as if I slept by resting for 10 minutes. If you're a sorceror, this will also restore a Focus point. This Feat let's your party save healing for everyone else as ling as you have some time.

My first pathfinder 2e character was a Gnome Bard that was a polyglot. He had a mission to learn all the languages in the world. We ended the game at 4th level and I think he had like 16 languages maybe? It was amazing c:

My Sensate Gnome Illusionist with the Illusion sense feat is awesome.

30:55 By life force I imagined you flew through their soul but yeah you’re view works as well xD

"If you happen to be a wellspring gnome who took divine, you can't take Instinctive Obfuscation at all. There's no feat support for divine wellspring gnome." Me, who literally got the idea to go hard on a divine wellspring gnome during this video who firmly believes she is a living avatar of her deity: Aw.

Vibrant Display would be awesome with Overextending Feint (the one that, rather than cause am enemy to be flat-footed, gives them a penalty to attack rolls). Make all the enemies surrounding you more likely to miss.

So I did the math. With ancestry paragon, a human-gnome investigator who uses every general, skill and ancestry and general feat to get multilingual after Gnome Polygot, with the Linguist Archetype, can learn **120 languages** by level 20.

In my current game, my and another player are playing as gnome brothers. I'm a chameleon he's a bleached and so far its awesome. I love gnomes so much

Animal Elocutionist for when you want to play David the Gnome.

I really want to play a gnome fencer swashbuckler. Combine Vibrant Display with the swashbuckler's Goading Feint. If the battle is a diverse bunch with different saves it'll boost the odds of the feint working and getting you panache, plus you can opt to give them negatives to attacking you instead of flat-footing them and can pick and choose between them so you could theoretically flat foot the one you want to burst down and make the rest have a hard item hitting you. Great for getting out of sticky situations you might hijink yourself into.

grim insight: "you fucking what mate?"

So during quarantine, 90% of the gnomes fucking died of bleaching. That’s dark

Honestly, I'm just glad that they removed something that they hinted at in Pathfinder 1e, Golarion setting - namely that Gnomes didn't really exist. Basically, the happy-go-lucky Gnomes were, unbeknownst to everyone including THEMSELVES, spy drones for Nyarlathothep. Their "exiles from First World" background? A lie cleverly concocted by the Lurker in Darkness himself. Which frankly made me thrice as happy that I never used Golarion as a setting for 1e - because Gnomes in Skybourne, Kitsunemori and Everglow are just that, Gnomes. Sure, they have to live in a fractured world, or maybe in an alternate Japan, or spend their lives with pastel ponies... but they don't have to be unwilling spies for an annoying Elder God. ...seriously, I never understood the passion Paizo has for Cthulhu and his relatives...

Gnomes are awesome in PF2!

Very cool

Vibrant Display in tandem with a scoundrel rogue means if you crit they are flat-footed to all players until the end of the rogues next turn

Every year to many gnome die from sheer boredom, for only the price of a cup of coffee we can give a gnome adventuring party so they don't.

Nice

Subbed because hummingbird told me to.

I really wanna play a wellspring gnome summoner/beastmaster with a Medium Trickster Fey eidolon that takes glider (eventually flying) and steed form. I basically just fly around on my Fey casting (eventually buffing) summons, raining down produce flames, and buffing/healing the party and taking whatever animal companion slots into the party best. But it all depends on two very important things 1. Free Archtype variant (which is best way to play imo) 2. My understanding of the tandem trait is correct, Can I, while riding my Fey (keep in mind steed form so I retain all 3 actions) use the Comand Animal action on my companion in tandem with my Fey moving for 1 action? So essentially can I move my Fey (me riding atop), move my ape companion, have it use Frightening Display, then use Act Together to Forbidding Ward a party member and have my Fey cast Guidance on the same member giving them all sorts of +1s, all in one turn Let me know if this can work plz lol

yeah gnomes are great also flickmace also known as a yoyo :)

Nobody Gnomes the madness we'd see in this video!

Obviously gnome druid leaf/wild with unexpected shift and briars at 16. 3 focus points, 2 regain from primal focus 1by leshy, 1 by feat 5. Basically a bear tank who at lev 9 has a 50 percent to reduce damage by 9 and 20 at lev 20. Better tank than dwarf. And wellspring arcana to get shield, for when you are forced out of forms. Healing transformation for 3 times at level 20 heals u for 10d6 each time and with percect form control you can stay permanentl in a lev 8 dragon or be a kaiju

My first PF character is a Gnome polyglot Oracle. Then I learned about the "Comprehend Language" spell :/ Edit: Discovered the Linguist dedication feat, this could actually be viable.

Well Spring Witch Gnome with a Squirrel familiar

How does a "twice per week" ability/spell work? Could use it to go to and come back from the First World on Saturday and then do that the very next day on Sunday as the week restarts? Or is it not possible to have 3 or more castings of the spell occur within 168 hours of each other?

maybe a fey touched gnome with the polyglot feat and grab the linguist archetype

I am playing a Gnome Cosmos Oracle

Gnomenat1s

Gnome bard. Stand up comedy. Had Goliath partner with preform who played the straight man. Did play musical water pipe but not in combat.

pathfinder gnomes are the only gnomes i've liked in 35+ years of playing ttrpgs.

I will make, a gnome fighter. >:)

I still cannot get over Gnomes having magi autism.

In empathetic plea I would totally think that buffing enemies of a creature or harming it's allies is considered a harmful act.

so gnomes are super extroverted.

Off on your math. Unexpected Shift equals a 20% chance, not 25%.

Lol in your mining example for eclectic obsession the bonus you would get to that mining lore roll would be +7 minimum. That's if you didn't give the gnome an intelligence modifier. That's ridiculous.

Homeward Bound could be really funny since it's such an imprecise spell - you could land in the bedchamber of a fey queen if the DM is in a trickster mood. I think just for the sake of comedy I'd make a houserule that you have to stay at least a few minutes to an hour in the First World before you can teleport back. Empathetic plea is just nuts - I'm thinking of implementing a +2 to attacks for enemies on a Crit Failure and/or immunity on a success and maybe a crit success. You might surprise an enemy once by begging for mercy, but more than once?

I am shocked the Gnomes have an 8 for their Health. I gotta make a Gnome in the future.

Hey man, it's not about Gnomes but here I go.. I was having a discussion with some people on Discord about Cantrips and I'd like to know your opinion. 9/10 spellcasters will choose Electrip Arc if possible because it's just.. the best damage cantrip! I heard they'll nerf it soon making the 2nd target need to be adjacent to the 1st one to be hit, but still, it's the only Cantrip that still damages in a failure, I believe that makes it amazing. Pay of Frost compensates it with its range, but I don't think it's enough, Produce Flame and Daze are just bad.. But at least I can try to make Daze better with Bon Mot, but Produce Flame is awful! I'm not saying that they need to improve the damage of the Cantrips, I don't believe that damage is the problem, Electric Arc is not 1d4 and it's the best cantrip! I believe they should improve the effects of these other cantrips. For instance Produce Flame should be more like Alchemist's Fire and Ray of Frost should be like Frost Vial (both alchemical bombs can become a "cantrip" for bombers at level 7, so I don't really see a problem here). Summarizing that, I think the critical success effect should be put in the normal success hit, and the critical success would just improve that effect. Do you trink those Cantrips should be improved? If yes, do you think the way I said is valid? How would you do it?
