    Trent Oster has made a diary that is currently posted at VoodooExtreme. Here it is just in case you need a laugh:

    Trent "Gnome-basher" Oster, lead designer of BioWare's Neverwinter Nights has checked in with a brand-new top 10 list; this time tackling the top ten things to do when rolling up a Gnome Illusionist character (oh boy, you know its over when you have one of these guys). Included in the top 10 list are 3 new NWN screen shots as well!

    Trent Oster, Producer:

    10) Start over with a real race/class combo...

    9) Name your character "mincemeat"...

    8) Beg the gods for some special ability to make you useful...

    7) Make a large number of fighter type friends. Someone is going to have to save your ass all the time and if they like you they will probably save you at least a few times before they realize how useless you are...

    6) Put all your ability scores into dexterity. If nothing else you can keep an enemy occupied for the rest of the party. With a high dexterity you might even survive long enough for a real character to save you...

    5) Buy a sling. You may as well give yourself some kind of token combat ability...

    4) Agree with the party you won’t ask for any share in the treasure. This will keep the rest of the party from killing you the first time they have to split the loot with your useless butt...

    3) Buy a suit of Gnome plate mail. You won’t be able to do anything, (no real difference there) but you will be harder to kill...

    2) Put all your ability scores into charisma, if creatures think you are cute they probably won’t kill you outright...

    1) Bribe the DM. It’s the only way you are going to survive!
