Like dwarves, Brell Gnome Clerics have access to the badass brown cultural plate and unlimited clicky beer necklace.
Unlike dwarves, they are able to see through walls and can wear the high-end Velious robes.
Gnomes are easily the overall best choice for the cleric class.

Reasons to go Gnome Cleric -
- Ninja look with plate helm (male)
- Goggle helm with custom Velious helm
- Seeing through walls rocks (as a former monk this keeps me sane)
- Tinkering (sorta sucks, but hey, you too can blow 1k/combine for Rebreathers)
- Smaller hitbox and los with npcs - not super helpful, but sometimes you can make this be useful
- Tiny epic is tiny
- Sinzan
- Can wear brell armor, this stuff rocks, shame its expensive as it is
- Brell clerics get clicky beer (not in game till Velious)
- Rarest cleric race
- Can wear robes
Reasons not to go Gnome Cleric -
- Being short has its disvantages (even moreso in Velious with steps/clicky zone lines)
- You're down ~30 wis vs. high elves (gnome clr = 102 max base wis)
- You're down ~20 cha vs. high elves
- You have 60 base strength - this sucks as a plate class, you'll be constantly overweight
- Your racial stat points (lower than other races) are somewhat distributed in agi/dex/int of all places
Reasons to consider other races -
- For wis/cha go High Elf
- For clicky snare neck go Innie (Dark elf, human, eru?)
- For most awesome starting city go Dark elf
- For sneak pulling go halfling
- For hide go halfling, dark elf
- If you want to do tailoring pre-velious for coldain shawl do a race with cultural tailoring (ie halfling, erudite, forget who else)
- If you want to wear robes, avoid Dwarf and Halfling
- Best melee stats (sta, str, etc) and good wis with barrel roll go Dwarf (also can make brell cultural armor - Gnome cannot)
- Best tradable armor set is Brells by far, have to be Dwarf or Gnome (halflings can wear, but can't be brell clerics)
PS - Only like 4 robes in game for Gnome Cleric: Noble Robe, Plastmatic Priest's robe, VP robe, Vulak robe - not exactly available to most people at all.
