| Rock Gnomes | |
| The most common type of gnome by far in most settings, Rock gnomes typically live in rocky hills and outcroppings close to the surface and in pockets rich in gems further down. What the Dwarves are to metal crafting, the Rock Gnomes are to gems and jewelry. One of the most interesting things about Gnomes is that almost all of them have some capacity to work simple Illusions Magic innately. Some Gnomes have quite a few different illusionary tricks up their sleeves in fact. | |
