WotR has some nice dwarf and gnome companions. They are here no because they needed a comic relief or for some cliché, but as real characters with interesting motivations.
Oh, need to give it a solid go then. I did two attempts, but never got that far. Maybe that's my journey to discovering insteresting smaller races representation! smile

Not to mention Edgin!
Never said they are not, but there are enough actually meaningful and deep characters that are human (or half-elf, elf etc.) that a silly one here and there makes no harm to the general opinion.

Also never seen Khalid as a comic relief character. I mean, he was a kick-ass warrior with his kick-ass warrior-druid wife, all he did was stutter smile

Speaking of BG characters - there was Mazzy! Says a lot that I didn't even remember her frown
