'''Gnomes''' were an underground-dwelling race of creatures, related to the dwarves but even more closely in touch with the earth. They were a small race, and aptitude-wise, shared many characteristics with [[halfling]]s. However, they advanced slightly more slowly in [[experience]] levels, and were somewhat more competent casters. In particular, they could be excellent [[Earth Magic|Earth mages]], having a superlative aptitude for that skill and good aptitude for [[Conjurations]], though they were somewhat held back by their poor [[Spellcasting]] aptitude. They had an innate [[magic mapping]] ability.

==Preferred Classes==
Gnomes were among the least versatile races in the game, usually becoming [[Chaos Knight]]s, [[Crusader]]s, [[Enchanter]]s, [[Earth Elementalist]]s, [[Stalker]]s, and [[Assassin]]s.

==Level Bonuses==
*-1 [[HP]] every level until character level 13.
*-1 [[HP]] every 3rd level.
*Average [[MP]].
*+1 [[dexterity]] or [[intelligence]] every 4th level.

==History==

Gnomes were removed in [[0.5]]. [[Deep Dwarves]], introduced in [[0.6]], co-opted a few of the features of gnomes, notably the aptitudes for [[Evocations]] and [[Earth Magic]], and the ability to sense their surroundings.

Interestingly, they also bear some resemblance to [[Gargoyle]]s: strong defense but low HP, and great earth casters but also competent physical fighters. It is not known whether or not this was intentional.
