Well, howdy.
You know, a lot of folks don't believe the story of ol' Jimmy Throckbottom. Folks think that having a fella who can get stung by a Wyvern twenty-six times and still come out just fine is the gnomes' way of funnin' us. Weeeeell, I'm here to sing you a little song about how a little gnome with a big heart figgered out how ta make 'is way in the world.
Jimmy Throckbottom was a tiny ol' gnome,
At a very young age the little feller lost his home,
When a big honkin' dragon swooped down upon same
And Jimmy's home town got swallered in flame.
So Jimmy hit the wild, he was small and wary and
For awhile he lived the life of a young Barbarian.
When a flock of giant wasps were in a stingin' mood,
Young Jimmy took his first big feat as Great Fortitude.
Jimmy's long adventures took him very far afield,
And over time he thought he'd sort of like to dual wield,
He was also old enough to think revenge was good to take,
So he levelled up in Ranger, favored enemy was drake.
But still there's more to life then telling dragons, "Arr, I hate ya!"
And all this travel gave Jimmy a passing love of nature,
So he made a change of heart, and some might say that he was fickle,
But he traded in his hand axe for a Druid's magic sickle!
By now our boy was known as being very hard to kill,
But a bunch of evil lizard-men were looking for a thrill,
So Jimmy he ran out of spells, and had to kill the blighters,
With his fists and blades and bonus feats, and so he levelled Fighter.
After fighting forces dark and killing creatures great and awful,
Young Jimmy realized that he was tending now towards Lawful.
He was sad to lose his rages, but when he sat down and thunk,
Ol' Jimmy, he decided he would rather level Monk.
Then a dragon, yep, the one who started this whole ballad, in
A place nearby was sighted. Jimmy levelled Paladin.
No ragin' and no druid spells, but it was still alright,
'Cause favored enemy stacks really well with smite!
Well, the battle lasted hours, but the dragon he got slayed,
And Jimmy fell upon his knees and thanked Mister Bright Blade.
For the rest of his long life, then, until he was deceased,
Ol' Jimmy fought for good and law, and did it as a Priest.
