Gnome

Baby gnomes are gifts found in nature. A flower blossom, a bird's egg, or anywhere nature is cared for with an abundance of love and intention may one day produce a gnome. They are walking within minutes, talking within days, and tinkering with gadgets and doodads no more than a month after their first breath. Caring for a young gnome is an extremely brief affair, as they are soon eager and capable enough to make their own way. For the caretaker's labors, they are left with a small pile of life-changing magical items.

The instinct to craft and imagine is as natural to a gnome as hunger or thirst. What thing could not be made better with a little clever magic? What higher calling could there be than to make the world work better? While some gnomes are industrious enough to seek proper employment, many simply explore the world, garnering the goodwill of all sorts of living creatures through gifts of magic.

Gnome Traits

Size: Small (about 3–4 feet tall)

Made of Magic. You know the Detect Magic spell, and you can cast it once per Long Rest without expending a spell slot.

This replaces the gnome's traditional Darkvision.

Gnomish Lineages

You are part of a lineage that grants you supernatural abilities. Choose a lineage from the options below. You gain the benefit of that lineage.

Forest GnomeYou know the Minor Illusion cantrip. You also always have the Speak with Animals spell prepared. You can cast it without a spell slot a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You can also use any spell slots you have to cast the spell.Rock GnomeYou know the Mending and Prestidigitation cantrips.Lesser Enchantment: You can spend 10 minutes casting Prestidigitation to create a Tiny clockwork device (AC 5, 1 HP), such as a toy, fire starter, or music box. When you create the device, you determine its function by choosing one effect from Prestidigitation; the device produces that effect whenever you or another creature takes a Bonus Action to activate it with a touch. If the chosen effect has options within it, you choose one of those options for the device when you create it. For example, if you choose the spell’s ignite-extinguish effect, you determine whether the device ignites or extinguishes fire; the device doesn’t do both. You can have three such devices in existence at a time, and each falls apart 8 hours after its creation or when you dismantle it with a touch as a Utilize action.
