Gnome

Age Gnomes mature at the same rate humans do, and most are expected to settle down into an adult life by around age 40. They can live 350 to almost 500 years.   Alignment Gnomes are most often 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.   Darkvision Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.   Gnome Cunning You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic.   Subspecies: Rock Gnomes Rock gnomes have a natural inventiveness and hardiness beyond that of other gnomes. Most gnomes are rock gnomes. They have a higher constitution than most. They are very knowledgeable (proficient) when it comes to history related to magic items, alchemical objects, or technological devices. +2 Con. They have proficiency with tinker’s tools. Using those tools, they can spend 1 hour and 10 gp worth of materials to construct a Tiny clockwork device. The device ceases to function after 24 hours (unless they spend 1 hour repairing it to keep the device functioning), or when they dismantle it; at that time, they can reclaim the materials used to create it. They can have up to three such devices active at a time.   Clockwork Toy. This toy is a clockwork animal, monster, or person, such as a frog, mouse, bird, dragon, or soldier. When placed on the ground, the toy moves 5 feet across the ground on each of your turns in a random direction. It makes noises as appropriate to the creature it represents. Fire Starter. The device produces a miniature flame, which they can use to light a candle, torch, or campfire. Using the device requires your action. Music Box. When opened, this music box plays a single song at a moderate volume. The box stops playing when it reaches the song’s end or when it is closed.     Forest Gnomes Forest Gnomes have a natural knack for illusion and inherent quickness and stealth. They are rare and secretive. They gather in hidden communities in sylvan forests, using illusions and trickery to conceal themselves from threats or to mask their escape, should they be detected. Forest gnomes tend to be friendly with other good-spirited woodland folk, and they regard elves and good fey as their most important allies. These gnomes also befriend small forest animals and rely on them for information about threats that might prowl their lands. They can cast minor illusions and are more dexterous than most. Through sounds and gestures, they can communicate simple ideas with Small or smaller beasts. Forest gnomes love animals and often keep squirrels, badgers, rabbits, moles, woodpeckers, and other creatures as beloved pets. +1 Nature, +1 Dex and they can have the Animal Friendship Trait.
