Which role suits this race well?
Escape Artist (removes roots/snares) keeps a Gnome Mage or Warlock casting instead of kiting, and Expansive Mind's bigger resource pool stretches a caster's mana further in a long fight -- Gnome reads as a caster-DPS race first, it has no tank/healer class option in Forever at all.
