[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 5994063, member: 70"] I voted for the PF option, though I don't mind mixing it up some. In my campaign, gnomes are the fourth of the four original divine races - Dragons, Giants, Humans, and Gnomes. They're "fey" woodland dwellers, but as a race (if not individuals) obsessed with lore and knowledge, the more secret the better. This gives the evil deities an opening to subvert, corrupt, or seduce many of them into more malignant creatures (spriggan, etc.). I've more or less dropped svirfneblin in favor of svartneblin: sallow-skinned master illusionists that live in cavern kingdoms not too far beneath the earth. They kidnap human children (changelings) and their cities are cloaked in layers and layers of illusions. Think Rumplestiltskin or the caverns of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. Inspiration isn't hard to find at all if you consider the magical "dwarves" in fairy tales to be gnomes, for the most part (unless they explicitly live in halls or mountains, are in groups, or have a great deal to do with magical weapons).
