They are quick to help their friends but are rarely seen by outsiders unless they want to be. Most gnomes are creatures of the living earth, tied to the soil both spiritually and physically, and tend to dwell underground in hilly, wooded regions: habitats that are both in short supply in [[Wildspace|space]].<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> While they do not relish the cold, lifeless void of space,<ref name="CGR1-10">''Curtis M. Scott'', [[CGR1 The Complete Spacefarer's Handbook]], 1992, (TSR Inc.), chapter 1: '''Groundlings in Space''', page 10</ref> gnomes have integrated well into spacefaring society. They are fairly loosely organized, with no more than a scattering of ships, though a growing number of gnomes live in [[human]] settlements. Their penchant for illusion magic has ensured that there are several gnomish illusionists available to power their [[Spelljammer Helms|spelljamming ''helms'']] which has helped spread gnomes to all corners of the [[Known Spheres, The|Known Spheres]].<ref name="LotV-58-59">{{RefSJ|add2|58-59|'''Gnomes''' section, chapter 3: '''Spacefarers'''}}</ref> ===Description=== Gnomes strongly resemble small, slender, nimble [[Dwarf|dwarves]], with the exception of two notable facial features: gnomes prefer to keep their beards short and stylishly-trimmed, and they take pride in their enormous noses (often fully twice the size of any dwarf or human’s). Gnomish clothing tends toward leather and earth tones, brightened by a bit of intricately wrought jewelry or stitching. They speak their own language, and each subrace has its own distinctive dialect, while many learn the languages of [[Human|humans]], [[Kobold|kobolds]], [[Goblin|goblins]], [[Halfling|halflings]], and [[Dwarf|dwarves]] in order to be able to communicate with their neighbors. Gnomes can see in the dark up to 60-feet, and are highly resistant to magic. They can detect sloping passages and unsafe stonework, and can also determine their approximate depth and location underground.<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> ===Personality=== Gnomes have a lively and sly senses of humor, especially for practical jokes. They have a great love of living things and finely wrought items, particularly gems and jewelry. Gnomes love all sorts of precious stones and are masters of gem polishing and cutting. ===Combat=== Gnomes prefer to use strategy over brute force in combat and will often use illusions in imaginative ways to "even the odds". Their great hatred of [[Kobold|kobolds]] and [[Goblin|goblins]], their traditional enemies, give them an advantage when fighting these creatures, and they are also adept at dodging the attacks of larger opponents. Gnomes typically wield short swords, hammers, and spears in close combat, and prefer using short bows, crossbows, slings, and darts at range. Virtually every gnome will also carry a sharp knife somewhere on their person as a final means of defense.<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> ===Society=== Gnomes are very much a magical part of nature and exist in harmony with the land they inhabit. In their own communities, gnomes prefer to live in underground burrows in remote hilly, wooded regions, though they often remain near the surface in order to enjoy its beauty. They are clannish, with friendly rivalries between neighboring clans. They spend their lives mining, crafting fine jewelry, and enjoying the fruits of their labors. Gnomes work hard, and they play hard. They observe many festivals and holidays, which usually involve games, nose measuring contests, and swapping of grand tales. Their society is well organized, with many levels of responsibility, culminating in a single chief who is advised by priests in matters directly relating to their calling. Gnomes often befriend burrowing mammals, and will often be accompanied by normal badgers, giant badgers, and wolverines. These animals are neither pets nor servants, but allies who will help guard the clan.<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> Spacefaring gnomish communities are few and far between, but notable colonies can be found on: [[Armon]] in [[Faeriespace]],<ref name="SJA3-20">''J.

They stand 3 1/2-feet tall, and range in skin tone from a dark tan to a woody brown (sometimes with a hint of gray), with pale hair and blue eyes. Rock gnomes have an average life span of around 450 years, although some can live to be 600 years or more. They speak their own dialect, and some learn to communicate with burrowing mammals via a basic language of grunts, snorts, and signs. Rock gnomes typically wear studded leather armor and use a small shield in battle, though leaders may be equipped with heavier armor, including chain mail or even plate mail.<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> ====Forest gnome==== '''Forest gnomes''' are shy and elusive, and live deep in the forests, shunning all contact with other races except in times of dire emergency. The smallest of the gnomes, they range in height from 2 to 2 1/2-feet tall, with bark-colored, gray-green skin, dark hair, and blue, brown, or green eyes. A very long-lived people, they have an average life expectancy of 500 years. In addition to their own gnomish dialect, most forest gnomes can speak the common gnome tongue (rock gnome), as well as that of the [[Elf|elves]] and [[Treant|treants]]. Some can even learn to communicate, on a very basic level, with forest animals. All forest gnomes have the innate ability to ''pass without trace'' and hide in woodlands. Forest gnomes prefer booby-traps and missile weapons when dealing with enemies. Due to their size and quickness they are especially difficult to hit in combat, and are particularly skilled in fighting [[Orc|orcs]], [[Lizard man|lizardmen]], and [[Troglodyte|troglodytes]]. Forest gnomes are guardians of the woods and friends to all forest animals. They will often help lost travellers but strive to remain unseen unless they have no other choice. Forest gnomes live in small villages, each family occupying a large, hollowed-out tree. Most of these villages are disguised so well that even an elf or a ranger could walk through one without realizing it.<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> ====Deep gnome (Svirfneblin)==== '''Deep gnomes''', also known as '''Svirfneblin''', live deep beneath the surface of the earth, in great hidden cities consisting of a series of closely connected tunnels, buildings, and caverns, They keep the location of these hidden cities secret in order to protect them from their deadly foes, including the [[kua-toa]], [[drow]], and [[Illithid|mind flayers]]. Small parties of svirfneblin miners can be found roaming the maze of small subterranean passageways searching for gemstones. Svirfneblin range in height from 3 to 3 1/2-feet tall and are thin, wiry and gnarled. Their skin is rock-colored, usually medium brown to a brownish-gray, and their eyes are gray. Male svirfneblin are completely bald, while females typically have long stringy gray hair. The average svirfneblin lifespan is about 250 years. They speak their own dialect of the gnome tongue, which most other gnomes struggle to understand. Most deep gnomes also speak Undercommon, and speak and understand a fair amount of kuo-toan and drow. They can also converse with creatures from the elemental plane of Earth via a curious “language” consisting solely of vibrations (each pitch conveys a different message), although only on a very basic level. All svirfneblin have the innate ability to cast ''blindness'', ''blur'', and ''change self'' once per day, and radiate ''non-detection'' as per the spell. Deep gnomes can see in the dark up to 120-feet, and are greatly resistant to the effects of magic. All deep gnomes are immune to the effects of ''illusions'', ''phantasms'', and ''hallucinations''. Deep gnomes wear leather jacks sewn with rings or scales of mithral steel alloy over fine chainmail shirts, but do not usually carry shields, since they would hinder movement through the narrow corridors they favor. They are typically armed with a pick and a dagger with a finely-honed edge, and also carry up to 10 special stun darts. Each dart releases a small puff of gas when it strikes, which may stun any living creature that inhales the gas. Elite warriors often carry hollow darts filled with acid and crystal caltrops which release a powerful sleep gas when stepped upon.<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> ====Tinker gnome (Minoi)==== [[Tinker gnome|Tinker gnomes]], also known as '''Minoi''' or '''Krynnish gnomes''', are native to [[Krynn]] in [[Krynnspace]], but have spread to many other worlds via spelljamming ships. Physically similar to rock gnomes, their history and culture are so radically different as to qualify them as a separate subrace. Tinker gnomes are quick and graceful in their movements, and their hands are deft and sure. They have rich brown skin, white hair, and china-blue or violet eyes. Males favor oddly-styled beards and moustaches, and both sexes have rounded ears and typically large gnomish noses. Tinkers who avoid getting blown up in an experiment live for 250-300 years. All tinker gnomes have a Life Quest: to achieve perfect understanding of a single device. Few ever actually attain this goal, but their individual Life Quests keep the ever hopeful tinkers busy. Males and females are equal in tinker society, and each pursue Life Quests with similar devotion. Each tinker gnome belongs to a guild, which occupies the same place in a tinker’s life that the clan occupies for other gnomes. Together the guild masters make up a grand council that governs the community. Tinker gnomes are not widely liked by other races: their technological bent makes them quite alien to those accustomed to magic, and their poor social interaction puts off many potential friends. Sages generally agree that their indiscriminate trumpeting of technology has discouraged its development by other races who have encountered tinker gnomes.<ref name="MM2e-159-161">''Tim Beach et al'', '''Monstrous Manual''', 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''Gnome''' entry, pages 159-161</ref> ===Notable Gnomes=== *[[Chokablock Axehunge]] was the captain of the [[sidewheeler|gnomish sidewheeler]], ''[[Liddlebidoeverythinputogether]]''.<ref name="SJR7-84">''Jean Rabe'', [[SJR7 Krynnspace]], 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''The Tinker Gnomes of Krynnspace''' chapter, page 84</ref> *'''B'linkyn''', '''Doogley''', '''Hoogley''', '''Horatio''', '''Knod''', '''Loogley''', '''Linkyn''' and '''Pip-Snodgrass D'Algernon ''' were gnomish clan leaders who served as ambassadors to the council of war called in response to raids conducted by the [[Vodoni Empire]]<ref name="SJA4-54">''Grant Boucher'', [[SJA4 Under The Dark Fist]], 1991, (TSR Inc.), Appendix B: '''Non-Player Characters''', page 54</ref> *[[Bungel|Head Tinker Bungel]] was the captain of an artificial asteroid-ship infested by a [[phlog-crawler]].<ref name="SJR8-15-18">''Nicky Rea'', ''Wes Nicholson'', [[SJR8 Space Lairs]], 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''A Breath of Fresh Air''' chapter, pages 15-18</ref> *[[Marjoritops Butterwill]] was the chief engineer and inventor onboard the [[sidewheeler]], ''Liddlebidoeverythinputogether''.<ref name="SJR7-85">''Jean Rabe'', [[SJR7 Krynnspace]], 1993, (TSR Inc.), '''The Tinker Gnomes of Krynnspace''' chapter, page 85</ref> *[[Danajustiantorala]], or Dana, was a crewman onboard the [[Deathglory|gnomish dreadnought]] ''Unquenchable'', and later a gunner on the [[hammership]], ''Probe''.<ref name="ITV-11-35">''Nigel D.

Gnomish designs range from the slapdash [[Sidewheeler|sidewheelers]] to the more successful but heavily overbuilt [[Deathglory|deathglories]]. They are also known for their experimental designs, such as the [[bolaship]]. Perhaps the strangest gnomish design is the cargo and people carrier known as the [[yawl]]. Unusual by gnomish standards, the organically grown crystalline vessel known as the [[whelk]] was originally designed and built for gnomish illusionists. ===Appendix=== ====External Links==== *{{Forgotten Realms Wiki external link}} *{{Dark Sun Wiki external link}} *{{Dragonlance Wiki external link}} *{{Eberron Wiki external link}} *[https://greyhawkonline.com/greyhawkwiki/index.php?title={{PAGENAMEE}} {{PAGENAME}}] article at [https://greyhawkonline.com/greyhawkwiki/index.php?title={{PAGENAMEE}} '''''Greyhawkonline.com'''''], a wiki for the Greyhawk campaign setting. *[https://dungeonsdragons.fandom.com/wiki/{{PAGENAMEE}} {{PAGENAME}}] article at the [https://dungeonsdragons.fandom.com '''''Dungeons and Dragons Lore Wiki'''''], a wiki for official Dungeons & Dragons content from every edition. *[https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Gnome_(MM) {{PAGENAME}}] article at the [https://adnd2e.fandom.com '''''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition Wiki'''''], a wiki for official Dungeons & Dragons content from 2nd edition AD&D. ====References==== {{Refs}} [[Category:Player character races]] [[Category:LotV canon]] [[Category:CGR1 canon]] [[Category:SJA2 canon]] [[Category:SJA3 canon]] [[Category:SJA4 canon]] [[Category:SJR2 canon]] [[Category:SJR5 canon]] [[Category:SJR6 canon]] [[Category:SJR7 canon]] [[Category:SJR8 canon]] [[Category:Cloakmaster Cycle novels]] [[Category:Gnomes]]
