Gnomes

General Information

Insert some intro text here. At this point, I'm just going to include game statistics for "known" races. I'll refine stuff and make it pretty later.

Gnomes are generally divided into forest and hill gnomes. For game terms, however, both of these surface varieties are largely the same, differentiated only by their physical descriptions, prefered environment, and a few personality traits. Hill gnomes are far more common. Accordingly the description below is based on these gnomes. Forest gnomes usually stand a full six inches shorter and weigh around 15 to 20 pounds less.
