Gnomes

Gnomes are shorter and slimmer than their Dwarf cousins, but have significantly larger noses. Most gnomes have dark tan or brown skin and white hair. A typical gnome lives for 350 years. They are especially resistant to magic, and have a natural affinity to the magic school of Illusion. During combat, Gnomes receive bonuses when attacking man-sized giant-class creatures and are adept at dodging the attacks of larger giant-class creatures.

Gnome Mages must specialize in the School of Illusion.  A Gnome can choose to be a Cleric, Fighter, Thief, Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Cleric, Cleric/Thief, Fighter/Illusionist, Cleric/Illusionist, or Thief/Illusionist.
