His stats are: Str 10, Dex 16, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha 18.

Background
The PC first encounters Grobnar in an open field on their way to Old Owl Well. Grobnar decided to camp there hoping to catch the attention of a Wendersnaven, mythical creatures that cannot be seen and touched and is everywhere and no where at once. They are considered by many to be nothing more than fairy tales, but for some reason Gnomes seem to beleive they exists. He decides to tag along with the PC in search of new inspirations. According to Grobnar, all the Gnomehands are bards, well except those that were hanged in Luskan. He is a big fan of Deekin Scalesinger's novels about the Undrentide and was quite ectastic upon meeting the kobold in Neverwinter.

Later in the quest, he succeeds in reactivating the Construct and hands the override commands to Bishop. When Crossroad Keep was searching for allies against the King of Shadows, he leads the party on a wild goose chase to find the Wendersnaven, however, he did find an invisible kazoo. Grobnar's fate depends on the PC's choices. If the PC decides to fight against the King of Shadows, Grobnar stands with him/her and becomes MIA along with the PC and his companions after the King of Shadows defeat. If the PC chooses to side with the King of Shadows, Grobnar is killed by the PC and corrupted by the King of Shadows.

Tidbits

 * In german, "Grob" means "rude, rough, crude, coarse" and "Narr" means "fool" or "jerk" or possibly also "jester". That's why his name gives Grobnar very bad first impressions to native german speakers.
