[QUOTE="Atomoctba, post: 8697838, member: 6996733"] In my homeworld, there is a place called Otherside, essentially a blend of Feywild with Dreamscape. Fey are creatures born in dreams, not necessarily dreams of mortals. Gnomes (but not elves) are fey creatures in this world. As such, they came from dreams. More to the point: exiled from dreams. Each gnome simply pop out in the "Waking World" (prime material plane) without any memory of his/her previous life in Otherside. They do not know what they done to be outcast from there. No one never saw a gnome children or a pregnant gnome. All gnomes just pop out here already adult. No one knows how gnomes reproduces. IF they reproduces. Gnome types are different according the original dream they came. Some are transitory (with a changeling shapeshifting trait). Other are living nightmares. Other yet are melancholic, quite literally black-and-white in a colorful world. There are gnomes from vivid dreams, that seem more real than anything around them (and gaining enhanced senses such as scent). And, once most people forget about the last night dream, there are easily forgetable gnomes (that can use the invisibility reaction from 4e and have a permanent non-detection effect upon them). All this said, the gnomes are very different in my homeworld, occuping a very distict character niche than elves and dwarves, for instance. [/QUOTE]
