Power-wise, there's nothing wrong with making a Gnomish Kensai....their Saving Throws are a lot better than a Human's, at any rate. Still, a Dwarf would be better, due to having more hitpoints, even better Saves, and the Dwarven Thrower (as a Kensai, one must consider the available ranged weapons very carefully). Still, you might not want the Dwarf's DEX penalty.
I just don't like the lineup of Gnomish NPCs that BioWare's produced:
Quayle: Male Chaotic Neutral Cleric/Illusionist.
Tiax: Male Chaotic Evil Cleric/Thief.
Jan: Male Chaotic Neutral Thief/Illusionist.
How about a Female, Lawful Good, single-classed Fighter for once? Huh?
