- This page is about the player species. For the monster, see Gnome (monster).
Gnomes were an underground-dwelling race of creatures, related to the dwarves but even more closely in touch with the earth. They were a small race, and aptitude-wise, shared many characteristics with halflings. However, they advanced slightly more slowly in experience levels, and were somewhat more competent casters. In particular, they could be excellent Earth mages, having a superlative aptitude for that skill and good aptitude for Conjurations, though they were somewhat held back by their poor Spellcasting aptitude. They had an innate magic mapping ability.

History
Gnomes were removed in 0.5. Deep Dwarves, introduced in 0.6, co-opted a few of the features of gnomes, notably the aptitudes for Evocations and Earth Magic, and the ability to sense their surroundings.
Interestingly, they also bear some resemblance to Gargoyles: strong defense but low HP, and great earth casters but also competent physical fighters. It is not known whether or not this was intentional.
