Gnome

Gnomes are a small race, almost as short as halflings and more finely built than dwarves. Gnomes have dark to tan skin and dark hair. Dwarves are their distant cousins and they share the love of glittering things though gnomes have more affection and respect for the natural world than dwarves do. Gnomes love jokes and are very clever; some might even call them devious. Gnomes can be anything from fighters to illusionists and are far more capable than they appear.

The only mage class available to Gnomes is Illusionist, which means all Gnomes are barred from using Necromancy school spells. In return for this restriction, they get an extra spell slot per level and apply save penalties with Blindness, Spook and Deafness (the only Illusions that roll saves).
Also, because they are forced into being Illusionists, they are the only race that can multi-class a Mage kit, which is a very nice perk. Their bonus to Wand and Spell saves are god-sends against two of the most damaging attack styles in the game. It's also worth noting Gnomes are one of the only two races who can access the Cleric/Thief multi-class option, in which you'll be limited to clubs, quarterstaves and magical weapons for backstabs - at least until you reach higher-levels and can Use Any Item. The penalty to wisdom can be overlooked by some players, due to the amount of ways available to increase your wisdom permanently, but it does prevent the character from acquiring extra high-level spell slots later on.
== In-Game Description ==
==In-Game Depiction==
Gnomes use the same sprite as dwarves. As the games lack a female sprite for the dwarven race there is no visual difference between female and male gnomes, even if female gnomes technically do not have facial hair.
