The figure speaks in a clear, light voice: "I am a Gnome, perhaps one
of the smallest of all that the gods ever created, but definitely the
fastest, lightest, and the most nimble. Invention is my genius, but
it is not my only skill. Let the others bash their heads against the
world trying to make it do what it wants -- we know the truth. Gnomes
manipulate rather than force, persuade instead of pummel. If you want
to undo a knot by hacking it to death, get a 'Tog. If you want it
unraveled, get a Gnome."
You regard the small Gnome. Tiny in comparison to a Human or Kaldar,
it is a shade shorter than the Halfling with an exuberance similar
to that race, except that in the place of overbearing bubbliness is
a razor-keen wit. The Gnome's ears are slightly pointed, and its
fingers are constantly twitching, as if it were eager to be doing
something.
