Gnome

Vibrant Expression
A gnome’s energy and enthusiasm for living shines through every inch of their tiny body. Gnomes average slightly over 3 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds.
A gnome’s personality is writ large in their appearance. A gnome’s beard, in contrast to his wild hair, is kept carefully trimmed but often styled into curious forks or neat points. A gnome’s clothing, though usually made in modest earth tones, is elaborately decorated with embroidery, embossing, or gleaming jewels.

Bright Burrows
Gnomes make their homes in hilly, wooded lands. They live underground but get more fresh air than dwarves do, enjoying the natural, living world on the surface whenever they can. Their homes are well hidden by both clever construction and simple illusions. Welcome visitors are quickly ushered into the bright, warm burrows. Those who are not welcome are unlikely to find the burrows in the first place.
Gnomes who settle in common lands are commonly gemcutters, engineers, sages, or tinkers.
