Arcane Gnome

Arcane gnomes benefit from slightly different racial traits. These traits are in addition to the basic gnome traits.

Arcane gnomes are smart but brash; they are a little too eager to finish what they start and often take dangerous shortcuts with projects. They gain a +2 bonus to Intelligence and a -2 penalty to Wisdom; this is in addition to the standard +2 Constitution and -2 Strength all gnomes enjoy.

Use Magic Device is always a class skill for arcane gnomes; they have an inborn ability to understand and wield magic items.

Arcane gnomes have little skill or time for the natural world and cannot ‘speak with animals’. They still enjoy the companionship of animals, but these relationships are more like standard master-pet relationships in human societies.

An arcane gnome’s favored class is wizard.
