I get tells almost daily, "dude you look awesome! I want to start a gnome warrior!"

And my usual response is: "Don't. Unless you love gnomes and are looking for a challenge. Otherwise... don't." lol
Really? I'm a gnome warrior with 8 pieces of small bronze (full visible) and I have no serious weight issues. I'm 24 pounds under the encumbrance limit, in fact. Granted, I did put 10 points into strength when making my toon - I figured the minuscule amount of HP lost was worth the huge quality of life boost to having the extra strength.

What helps is having items that boost your strength, like jagged bands / spiked collar / Langseax of the Wolves. I'm getting +12 strength from my equipment in addition to the 10 points I got from the character creation menu, so weight is seldom a serious issue for me.

If you aren't too far along, I might consider rerolling your toon and distributing some points into strength - you'll lose a negligible amount of health but gain a huge amount of quality of life boost. I still have more health than troll shadow knights, so HP really isn't an issue.
