Gnomes (Greyhawk)
Less tinkerers and inventors, more tricksters and craftsmen than in other worlds.
Rules
These are changes to the Gnome race as presented in the pathfinder SRD.
- Ability Score Racial Traits: Gnomes are robust and quick in mind, but their small size gives them less leverage and pure physical force. They gain +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, and -2 Strength
Cultural Traits
Witty, Humorous, Caring, Inventive.
Practices
Experimentation, Fetishes, Bisexuality, Foreplay, Interspecies sex, Recreational sex, Roleplay, Sex toys.
Taboos
Domination, Sado-masochism.
Family
Casual relationships. Child care is seen as a profession and child support is a matter for the clan; often one or several gnomes will rear all the children, with other gnomes taking turns to help and socialize. Children are seen as an asset, never a burden. What outsiders see as a large family is often in fact a live-in adoption agency with professional parenting.
Magic
Gnomes favor the magic of deceit and trickery, tough there are gnomes of all the magic-using classes.
Pantheon
Garl Glittergold leads a small pantheon of tricksters and craftsgnomes.
