Is it different from standard Gnomes as Depicted in the PHB? I often have difficulty finding an interesting niche for Gnomes in my campaigns world. I don't like the tinker Gnome stereotype, I think that an entire (sub)race of tinkerers is like have all dwarves being Blacksmiths or all halflings are bakers. Back in 1e Gnomes were a bit Dwarvish with a forest bent and a like for illusion magic. Now they have a Faewild connection that makes them feel almost like a mixture of halflings, dwarves, and elves to me. This is just my thoughts on them. If you like them the way the are or think of them differently that is okay. I am just looking for different ways to represent them. So do you have an interesting/unique take on Gnomes in your world? Where do they fit in? Also, if their is a 3rd party campaign world that does something interesting with them I am happy to here what they are too. For example, I kind of like the 3e Midnight campaign's take on Gnomes being travelling boat people that traded with everyone as they travelled the rivers of the continent.</blockquote>
