Gnome Magic
Gnomes add +1 to the DC of any saving throws against illusion spells that they cast. Gnomes with a Charisma of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day — dancing lights, ghost sound, prestidigitation, and speak with animals. The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnome’s level. The DC for these spells is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the gnome’s Charisma modifier.

Illusion Resistance
Gnomes get a +2 racial saving throw bonus against illusion spells or effects.

Keen Senses
Gnomes receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception skill checks.

Low-Light Vision
Gnomes can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.

Master Tinker
Gnomes with this racial trait gain a +1 bonus on Disable Device and Knowledge (engineering) checks. They are treated as proficient with any weapon they have personally crafted. (Alternate racial trait from the Advanced Player's Handbook, replacing Hatred and Defensive Training.)

Obsessive
Gnomes receive a +2 racial bonus on a Craft or Profession skill of their choice.

Weapon Familiarity
Gnomes treat any weapon with the word “gnome” in its name as a martial weapon, for what that's worth, which is nothing.

Proficiencies
All simple weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).

Spells
Mechanical summary: spontaneous, divine, no DF, based on CHA. For more, see Spells or spellcasting section below.

Curse
Haunted: Malevolent spirits follow you wherever you go, causing minor mishaps and strange occurrences (such as unexpected breezes, small objects moving on their own, and faint noises). Retrieving any stored item from your gear requires a standard action, unless it would normally take longer. Any item you drop lands 10 feet away from you in a random direction. ''Also adds spells to spells known. For more, see Curses.''

Mystery
Mechanical summary: adds spells to spells known, adds skills to class skills, and allows the selection of revelations (special abilities) at 1st level, 3rd level, and every four levels thereafter. For more, see mysteries in general or Lore specifically.

Revelations
Focused Trance (Ex): You can enter a deep meditation, blocking out visual and auditory stimuli and allowing you to concentrate on a single problem, philosophical issue, or memory. This trance lasts 1d6 rounds, during which time you can only take move actions. During this period, you gain a bonus equal to your level on all saves against sonic effects and gaze attacks. When you come out of your trance, you may make a single Intelligence-based skill check with a +20 circumstance bonus. You may enter your focused trance a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier.

Feats
Magical Aptitude: +2 to all Spellcraft and Use Magic Device checks (becomes +4 with 10 ranks in the skill).

Traits
Dangerously Curious: +1 to Use Magic Device; Use Magic Device always class skill. Etymologist: +1 to Linguistics; one bonus language; Linguistics always class skill.

Skills
Skill Pts: 07 = [Base(04) + INT(02) + FC(01) + Misc(00)] (Ora 1+2)

Background
Ganbold Tockstagod was born unto the proud proprietors of A. Tockstagod & Co. Fine Weapons & Armor ("If It's in Stock, We've Got It!") and trained in the family business almost from the time he could hold a hammer. Despite high hopes, he proved to be merely a competent smith by the demanding standards of his parents. Still, he was amiable enough, and dutiful enough, and -- most importantly -- related enough, so they found a job for him in the smithy.

Ganbold worked there for fifty years, churning out the sort of high-volume, zero-flair edged good that costs little and requires nothing of its maker, and in the process probably equipped half the guardsmen in the city. In a thousand parallel universes, Ganbold Tockstagod forged mediocre weapons until the day he died.

Then this Ganbold had a dream. It didn't seem very important, or even very sensible: just a lot of books dancing the rumba and the bure while staring at him meaningfully. He put it out of his mind and left it at that, for a week. But one day every thing he set down promptly crept underneath the table, and at lunch his plate told him in no uncertain terms that he was to seek out knowledge and art and truth wherever they were hidden, and every sentence it spoke was punctuated by a chorus of agreement from the fork and knife and spoon. Thus chastened, he nevertheless managed to negotiate a few months of preparation time.

His parents, who are very sensible tradesmen indeed, worried greatly over their son's sudden personality changes, and even more over his cultivating contacts among the adventuresome types that frequent their business. But even the most devoted parents will grow tired of whispers from empty corners and tools that misplace themselves, and now they're only relieved that it's about to be someone else's problem...

Relations: Father Altanbold, Mother Ganzaya, Older sister Altanzaya, Younger sister Boldmaa.
