Gnomekin

A gnome will take a lock apart to see why it locks, and then the door, and then will ask the owner of the house a great many questions very fast. This is not rudeness. Gnomes wish to know how each thing works, and they have noticed that there are a great many things.

They are a small people with sharp eyes, and they are fond of illusions, which they hold to be the politest kind of magic, since somebody is fooled and nobody is hurt. Some live in the cities above ground and some in still forests, and some so deep that the dwarves have not found them. The kobolds hate them; and the gnomes say that this is the best thing known of kobolds.

Details

• The peoples of this kin: Forest Gnome, Rock Gnome and Deep Gnome. Each has an entry of its own.
• All of them have +1 to enchantment complexity and speak common and gnomish. Each of the three peoples also has the innate spell 'figment'.
• Gnomes are wise rather than strong, and lean to the magical and the priestly arts.
