GNOMES OF HARQUAL
Ability Score Changes. Either your Constitution score increases by 2 or your Dexterity and Intelligence scores both increase by 1,and your Strength score decreases by 1.
ROCKWOOD GNOMES (Forest Gnome, modified)
Rockwood gnomes aren't truly forest gnomes. In fact, they are a combination of the rock and forest gnomes from AD&D 2E. For 3E, they changed a lot. For 5E, the race will be closer to the forest gnome subrace but with modifications. Rockwood gnomes are from the Far South, so they speak, read, and write Gnome and Suar. Here's the most important changes for the subrace:
Ability Score Changes. Your Charisma score increases by 1,and your Wisdom score decreases by 1.
Fey Magic. You know the prestidigitation cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the speak with animals spell once per day. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the pass without trace spell once per day. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. (This replaces Speak with Small Beasts.)
MINOR GNOME SUBRACES OF HARQUAL
BITRAN GNOME: This Transformation race from Maran has an Ability Score Increase of +2 for Charismaand a Ability Score Decrease of -1 for Intelligence, just like their dwarven cousins. As well, these gnomes know the resistance cantrip. Bitran gnomes that choose to be sorcerers gain access to the Druid's Mountain Circle Spells as sorcerer spells, if those spells aren't already on the Sorcerer Spell List. Bitran gnomes have their own language called Bitran, which is a shared language with Bitran dwarves.
WHISPER GNOME: The whisper gnome is from the 3E soucebook, Races of Stone. These gnomes are found near the Greystone Mountains and the Twilight Valley. This subrace isn't well known anywhere south of the Greystones. Originally, I had Whisper gnomes listed as a subculture, but they are unique enough to be considered a subrace for Harqual. Whisper gnomes have an Ability Score Increase of +1 for Dexterityand an Ability Score Decrease of -1 for Charisma.
Barely a Whisper. You have proficiency with the Stealth skill, and you have advantage while using the Stealth skill in lowland terrain (i.e. valleys).
Stealth Magic. You know the mage hand cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the disguise self spell once per day. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the silence spell once per day. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
OTHER VARIANT GNOME SUBRACES ON HARQUAL
There are only a few other gnome subraces on Harqual. There are the Gnomes of Jzadirune, which are an offshoot of the Rockwood gnomes of the Far South. (These gnomes have the Rock gnomes Artificer's Lore ability instead of Fey Magic.) There is also one Transformation race: the gnomes of the city-state of Korvosa known as gnome mages. Gnome mages will be a unique subrace somewhat based on the Pathfinder RPG gnome.
