[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 372211, member: 1125"] I'm with Kenjib and Schmoe on this one and infact imc Gnomes are fey and Brownies are a subrace of gnomes. Gnomes are all Hermaphrodites and eusocial (Hive-like) creatures living in great colonies and capable of incredible feats of engineering (and tinkering) when they cooperate. Gnomes have a semblance of neutrality simply because they do not recognise the jurisdiction of the outside world in their lives and as long as noone interfers with them they will not interfer with others. They are good natured enough and will be social to strangers passing through however to anyone who offends them they are a terror and their swarming instinct again arises as gnomish warriors destroy any threat. Most gnomes live in forest and hills however a wilder (Pict-like) subspecies (Brownies) occupy the mountains and a reknowned as cattle stealers, and for their incredible rages. Some gnomes have taken to living amongst other races (initally as Borrowers in farmyards) but more recently they have begun to become civilised and use their skills to tinker. [b]Gnome PrC[/b] The Boggart - Boggarts are gnome recluses, aged gnomes who have withdrawn from society and sort solitude underground. They are reknowned amongst gnomes as "Grumpy old men" and by non-gnomes for their ability to snif out precious gems. However Boggarts are more likely to lead people to their deaths than they are to give them a straight answer of lead them to treasure. [b]As to Literature[/b] Check out Terry Pratchetts Bromeliad (Nome Trilogy - Truckers, Diggers, Flyers) [/QUOTE]
