[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 2958806, member: 40076"] Pratchett seems to have a soft spot for the wee free men, they show up in his other, more famous series (Discworld) as being pint-sized powerhouses. Height, 4" (inches) STR: 18+ Move: 30+ Four of them, working in conjunction, can steal a cow. They sneak up on a sleeping cow, then each grabs a hoof, lifts, and they all run for it. Nothing quite like watching a cow moving backwards at the speed of a full run without moving it's legs. They are a colony-living fey-like creature (who insist on being called pixies, despite that, everyone calls them gnomes), who are masters of alchemy and disguise, as well as the air (they paint themselves green and wait by a pond until a stork comes down, when the stork tries to eat them, they punch it between the eyes and tie it down so they can tame it) and they are darn dangerous in their own way. Urban Gnomes make livings as extremely bad-ass exterminators (planting explosives inside the super-intelligent hornet's nest, lighting the fuse, and then fighting the way out, armed only with a folding pocket-knife) and police officers (aireal survelance and recon mostly). Out in the country, they are notably more, how to say this... scottish. Yeah, really really scottish. [/QUOTE]
