I chose gnome this time because they start with 2 points (1/2 CP) in haggle. This means that you can become a Haggle-Expert (and sell almost anything to anybody) with alot less character points. Normally, to become a Haggle Expert, you would have to add 3 CP in Haggle and around 4 CP in WP. With this Gnome character, with its starting Haggle bonus and 10 WP, it only requires 2 Haggle CP and no WP CP, saving 5 CP.

This lower haggle results in a little less cash. For instance, a kathorn crystal will only get you 87, rather than 93; Durin’s Truth will cost you 1750, rather than 1500; and you will have to pay full fair on ships. This is a small price to pay for the 5 CP though.
I think, that these Points are better invested in Dex and Pick Pocket. Dex is usefull for every character and with Pick Pocket you get more than enough money.
