Gnome

The gnomes of Sol are a transitory race. They are in truth closer to native outsiders than true mortals, but this is something of a fine distinction. Every few millennia they simply begin appearing in the wild places of the world in small batches, unaware of where they came from or indeed where they are. They have little in the way of culture other than dimly recalled memories of a war fought on their native plane.

Physically gnomes stand between a foot and three and a half feet tall, though only very rarely do gnomes much smaller than two and a half feet venture far from their own kind. They have skin in all manner of natural colors and a few odd colors as well. Typically they are brown or golden skinned, but nearly any color is possible, and even bright deep blue is not completely unheard of. Their hair is equally difficult to predict, though most fall into browns and reds, nearly any color is possible. Very nearly all gnomes have whiteless black almond shaped eyes. Those few who have other colors are immensely sought after as mates and in those individuals nearly any color is possible. Such eyes still have no whites but do have large pupils. They have sharply pointed ears about the size of their hands.

Each successive generation of gnomes born on the material plane more closely resemble Halflings, and it is believed (truthfully) that Halflings are simply the descendants of gnomes who somehow became native to the prime material. Typically it takes around twenty generations for a group of gnomes to become indistinguishable from Halflings, but by this time almost without exception, gnome communities have already been subsumed into an existing Halfling community.

Pathfinder Rules
Gnomes use the rules for Halflings as presented in the core rulebook for use with Pathfinder.
