Gnomes can start out with 19 Int. wich gives 95% chance to learn new spells and takes the roof off of the # you can learn. It can be argued that the Illusionist is the best type of Mage, the biggest spell you loose is Skull Trap. You want a lot of spells, try a Cleric/Illusionist. I love using Dwarves for tanking. You can't beat a 20 Con. and regeneration. Have fun, experiment a little.
