Gnome

Gnomes are short, perpetually cheerful, and full of wonder at life. Unlike halflings, however, they are driven less by a desire for new experiences and more by sheer curiosity. Gnomes not only want to see new things, but learn what they are and how they work. Gnomes pride themselves in being extremely clever, and many are skilled engineers, alchemists, tinkers, and inventors. They are also master jokers and pranksters, and love to laugh at themselves as much as at anything else; many gnomes make excellent bards. They dream big, and take equally large risks.
