Biology

Appearance

Gnomes are short humanoids descended from elf-dwarf crosses that bred true.

• Height: Gnomes tend to be shorter than humans and elves, averaging between 3'6" to 4'6" tall. Particularly tall gnomes can reach as tall as 5'.
• Weight: Gnomes have a similar weight as humans of their same height and build.
• Build: Gnomes have a similar build to humans, and can be fat, thin, muscular or gaunt.
• Bust: Gnomes have a broad range of breast sizes. They can have breasts that are between a AA-cup and a G-cup.
• Penis: Gnomes have a broad range of penis sizes, and can get rather large for their size. They are generally between 3" and 7", with a rare few having penises of up to 10".
• Skin: Gnomes tend to have skin that is shades of peach or brown.
• Hair: Gnomes can have any color hair.
• Eyes: Gnomes can have any color eyes.
• Other details: Gnomes have slightly pointed ears, and a somewhat bulbous nose. The nose is more prominent in males than females. Gnomish faces are round and full; and with their large eyes can appear child-like to other races, especially with younger gnomes.

Genders

Gnomes can be Male, Female, or quite rarely Futanari or Neuter.

• Almost all gnomes are born male or female.
• About 1 in 10,000 births can result in a Futanari or Neuter.
  • There is generally some difficulty for these rarities in gnomish society as the gnomes aren't sure whether to treat them as male or female.

Reproduction

Gnomes reproduce sexually.

• Gnomes can cross with any lesser, humanoid, or greater race.
  • Gnomes cross particularly well with dwarves and to a lesser extent elves.
  • Gnomish-human pairings are rather common, and they cross relatively well.
• Purely gnomish pregnancies last about 15 months.

Age

Gnomes age slower than humans and dwarves, but faster than elves.

• Gnomish ages can be calculated by multiplying the age of their physical appearance were they human by 7.
• A gnome that is entering adolescence would be around 70-85 years old.
• Gnomes reach maturity at around 125 years old and live about 600 years.

Diet

Gnomes are Omnivores

• Gnomish fare is about the same as humans.

Spirituality

Worship

Gnomes generally follow the philosophy of science. Most have no religion.

• There were no gnomish gods to be overthrown. Gnomish lack of belief fuels no one's power.
• Gnomes are free to believe what they will, but most are raised to embrace science and logic and ignore gods and superstition.

Afterlife

There is no gnomish afterlife.

• When gnomes die they simply cease to be.
• Gnomes who follow other religion will end up in the appropriate afterlife.
• While gnomes do not feel the call of the Faerie, if they make the journey they are generally accepted.
