Gnome

Distantly related to dwarves, gnomes are smaller - averaging three to three and a half feet - and weighing about 70 pounds. Gnomes have deep tan or brown skin and white hair. The average life span for a gnome is 350 years. Gnomes tend to live in hilly meadows and rocky woodlands. Their small size makes them wary of larger races, though gnomes are not hostile unless the larger folk are evil. Gnomes are much less dour than their dwarven relatives, with sly and lively senses of humour. Many people - mostly gnomes - say that gnomes have elevated practical jokes to an art form. Gnomes also love living things and finely wrought items of all types. But most especially they love gems and jewellery and are considered by many to be the best gem cutters and jewellers in existence. Rock gnomes are the most common gnomes, and they can be encountered in a variety of climates and environments. Their eye color is predominately blue, although brown or green are seen occasionally. Their hair is usually white or pale gray. Rock gnomes are typically neutral good, but the whole gnomen society is open to any align. Of all the mortal races, the gnomes are the most adept at mathematical and spatial manipulations, and they are thought to be the most naturally intelligent of the humanoid races. Even gnomes raised among other cultures are natural tinkerers, and have been known to drive entire villages wild with their toys. + Gnomes get a bonus versus elemental attacks and are very intelligent. + Gnomes are resistant to heat and electricity but vulnerable to blunt and air. + Raceweapon: Dagger
