Gnomes
Dex - 1, Int - 2
Suggested Alignment: neutral
A gnome’s energy and enthusiasm for living shines through every inch of his or her tiny body. Gnomes average slightly over 3 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds.
​Gnomes vary from a dwarf as they are usually smaller than the stout fighters, they possess long ears, a bright complexion and disposition to the world. They enjoy vibrancy, jokes, and life in general, excited to just be here. They are more impulsive than their smallfolk brethren while prone to be tinkerers and enjoying bright gems and embroidery. Their eyes are also in tune with seeing through the dark of living underground, and possess quick wit to accompany their tinker nature.
As far as gnomes are concerned, being alive is a wonderful thing, and they squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of their three to five centuries of life. Humans might wonder about getting bored over the course of such a long life, and elves take plenty of time to savor the beauties of the world in their long years, but gnomes seem to worry that even with all that time, they can’t get in enough of the things they want to do and see.
Though gnomes love jokes of all kinds, particularly puns and pranks, they’re just as dedicated to the more serious tasks they undertake. Many gnomes are skilled engineers, alchemists, tinkers, and inventors.
