Just remember Ed's words on Giant Space Hamsters:
quote:
Re. space hamsters and Wooly Rupert’s response: “Let me guess, they're actually extradimensional beings making amazingly subtle experiments on humans, right?”
To this, Elminster replies, “Indeed. And that should lead ye to readily accept this advice of mine, freely given ye: don’t breed with them, no matter what they offer ye. Just don’t.”
What he had to say about tinker gnomes I won’t pass on, even in this broadminded and tolerant forum. :}

That'd be nice... and I'd have another valid option for the now past-retired NPC of the Sage in my campaign (who doesn't want to embrace lichdom, the deathless type, or any other type of immortality that relates to undead).
Of course, there's always the soulmech .

You know I love the soulmechs! 
I did have an autognome NPC I created, back in the day. He was originally a tinker gnome, but had experienced a slight mishap... I've since scrapped his original backstory, since I was something of a munchkin back then. |

Indeed I do. The problem though, is converting them in a way that makes them applicable for proper D&D rules.

What's the problem? I might have an idea or two. |

The Gond-forged armor? Yes. But it's not really relevant for this... since the armor itself is supposed to be an awfully powerful artifact and one that causes incredible suffering on the part of the wearer. That's not something I want for the Sage NPC.

Well, as you know... stats and 3e rules aren't my thing. So perhaps I'm seeing difficulty in a potential conversion for the soulmech where there shouldn't actually be one? I wouldn't really know...
If you can help though... I'd be curious to see what you come up with.

What SJ sourcebooks does this appear in? Can't promise anything soon, but I can at least try to get the supplements to do it. |

Cough,
This thread has gotten off topic. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
