Gnomes

A small race, gnomes stand between 3 and 4 feet tall. They mature at the same rate as humans, reaching maturity at around age 40 and can ling from 350 to almost 500 years of age.

Gnomes lean most often to good. Those who tend toward law are sages, engineers, researchers, scholars, investigators, or inventors. Those who tend toward chaos are minstrels, tricksters, wanderers, or fanciful jewelers. Gnomes are good-hearted, and even the tricksters among them are more playful than vicious. Their penchant for inventions make them very welcome in many communities.

Rock gnomes

Deep gnomes
