[I wish my name was Baggins]

With the exception of mages...specifically illusionists....I have never heard of anyone playing a gnome here on the boards.

As far as class goes...I know that it is a straight up well known class...but you never really hear people bragging about the "Kickin Cleric" that they are winning with. The near total lack of blunt weapons that are worth a rats hind parts may be a reason for this but at the same time recent gallup polls show that Cleric use is at an all time low.
