Gnomes have been the enemies of Dwarves for many centuries.  The two races
are descended from a common ancestor, and the conflict between them
originally arose when the Gnomes wished to focus on mechanical innovation
rather than subterranean exploration. They found that their interests
corresponded closely with those of the Humans, and left the Dwarven cities
to live with humankind.  As there has been increased interaction between
the races, Gnomes have gradually learned to become more tolerant of their
distant cousins.

While Gnomes are much shorter than Humans, their wiry forms are more
strong and durable.  They have an incredible ability to regenerate, and
are resistant to poison, disease, and magical attacks.  Their intelligence
and quickness make them well-suited for many different professions,
although they are not as skilled in fighting as some of the other races.

Gnomes' racial ability is a 25% reduction in items' decay and spark rates.

Gnomes may choose from the following classes:
Wizard        Rogue         Paladin       Ranger        Psionic
Monk          Shaman        Druid         Knave         Valkyrie (if female)
