So, of all the races the Forest Gnomes and Burghals are the only two stuck sharing the same bucket of verb, not that there is anything really wrong with that…kind of…ok there is something wrong with that. I think burghals should get an extension on Tinker…or something…burghals…who care right?
The really important thing is Forest Gnomes need some verb love, yes they are not the most popular of race…but neither are half-krolvin and they have more barks than a kennel full of Yorkshire terriers. Good on em, those half dog monkey people, it adds to the flavor of the race.
I was going through the sylvanfair verb list looking at other races and if I may make a suggestion…
FIDGET | You check your equipment while observing the surroundings. |
Forestgnome fidgets around looking restless | |
Fidget (Hidden) | Trying not to make too much noise you readjust your position. |
From somewhere nearby you hear a faint rustling sound. | |
FIDGET BOW | You perform a deep bow keeping your eyes on the environment |
Hands clasped Forestgnome bows low while keeping her eyes on the surrounding area. | |
Fidget bow (target) | Hands clasped reverently Forestgnome bows to you while keep both eyes on the surroundings. |
FIDGET ENVIRONMENT | |
In town- | Trying to take in the details of the area you are confronted by the artificial nature of it all. |
Forestgnome looks uneasy as her eyes dart from one place to another. | |
Out of town- | Watching carefully for any movement you take note of the local environment. |
With a practiced eye Forestgnome observes the landscape taking note of any movement. | |
Fidget ground | You pat the ground down with your feet observing the condition of the earth. |
Forestgnome starts kicking at the ground for some reason. | |
Fidget Landing- | Realizing you are in a true pit of evil you stop your heart from beating. There is always a way out. |
*Forestgnome has gone demonic | |
FIDGET REST - | You take a moment to relax. |
Forestgnome pauses a moment while she casually looks around. |
I used fidget because nothing else was using it that I could see. Yea, I know these are probably not up to the standards set by the other amazing race verbs...and I agree some polishing could be done....but maybe it could lead down the road to one day Forest Gnomes getting a race verb all to themselves? One can only dream.
