Gnome
From HoAWiki
Gnomes are filthy little creatures who live in hovels that are easily mistaken for scrap heaps. Other races shun settlements that accept Gnomes into their service. Once Gnomes reach level eight, they are upgraded to Gnome Champions. They are the only class to recieve an upgrade.

[edit] Class Overview
New players may avoid choosing a Gnome because of their very low HP, H2H, Strength, and the fact that they can only use lowly daggers as weapons. These factors may explain why the Gnome's difficulty rating is listed as "Master". However, a miraculous transformation occurs when a Gnome manages to claw his way to level 8, after which they become a Gnome Champion (just like the original Majesty: Northern Expansion). Once they become Champions, they gain the Combat Luck ability along with other boons. With Combat Luck the Gnome Champion will have extremely high combat stats which can then be further enhanced with items, particularly Elf Beard Rings. This allows the Gnome Champion to attain exceptionally high combat stats easier and earlier than any other class.
While the Gnome may appear to have the weakest start in the game, they start with the highest Luck stat of any class. This can be extremely powerful early on in the game (see Beginning Strategy), and will help ease their difficult start.
Notable Items
- Champion Blade (Class-unique schematic dagger, proficient in damage)
- Night Dagger (Schematic dagger, proficient in stats-enhancement)
- A number of luck-enhancing items, including Elf Beard Rings, are useful only to Gnomes and Gnome Champions.
