Gnome
and "friends"...
Gnomes are small creatures within their own, underground city on the North. They are greedy, and their existence is about learning, and selling their inventions to the future. Thanks to Gnomes, humans have Stopwatches... and bombs... Gnomes are addicted to creating things, or inventing new solutions. They are a great addition to have on the battlefield, but not so great to have in a party, as their always curious, childish, bratty personality sometimes makes them unbearable. They are extremely smart, and they would not waste a second to correct every single of your words. Gnomes are famous for their otherwordly technology within their city, which no visitors ever managed to understand. People says, that Gnomes are at least a hundred years ahead of society in manners of technology, and they are not willing to sell such technologies yet!

Gnome Types
Gibralnar (Gnome): Of Gibralnar, Gnome, Gibralnarian. "Tiny Human"
Gibralnarian People, precisely: Gnomes are living inside of a colony 200 Feet under the ground. Their city looks like a weird, steampunk colony of medieval inventors and researchers. They do not care about fashion, all they care about is comfort. During your childhood as a Gnome, you were going through an oddly futuristic school system, where you had to sit in the pads, listening to Alchemy, Magic, Science, Math, Biology, and such like that, until you grew up. The greatest threat to your people are earthquakes, which tends to cause massive problems inside of your mechanical city.
Classes: Warrior, Rogue, Priest, Warlock, Mage
(3)Special Ability: "Invention!": For every Level, you may upgrade one of your class abilities, to something better, it must be approved by the DM.
Goblin: Of the Gnomish Secret Slave-Factory.
During the Great War, Goblins found their way inside of the Gnomish city, and the first War for Gibralnar happened. Things took a dark turn, and the war ended by "half gnomes, half goblins" which you are! The Gnomes now have met a new problem... Not desiring to raise small, green babies. They quickly came up with the solution: They will put Goblin Kids into the factories, to mass produce tools they can sell to the Humans and Dwarves later, and they pay one slice of bread, a mug of cherry tea, and a coarse-ball for them each day! Things worked, until one of the smartest Goblins realized, that this is not how they should be treated. Now these hybrid Goblins, decided to get away from the city, to find their new home in the future. Your Gnomish bloodline, makes you just a little bit smarter than Dungeon Goblins, which taught you how to get into cities without getting kicked out. The most common way is to steal from people, then return the stolen objects to them, to gain a welcome inside of their town. You are very greedy, but at the same time, you can handle money perfectly, because before you became free, money was not a thing for your whole life. The Avarage Goblins smaller, and darker eyes than Cave Goblins, which makes people tell the difference. - Goblins are famous for their natural skill of planning, and doing business. Eventho they are very transparent and dumb, Math and Business seems to run inside of their blood!
Classes: Warrior, Rogue, Warlock, Mage.
(3)Special Ability: "Goblin Business": Advantage in money related rolls. Persuasion +1 if the action involves money, a way to sell, or buy something.
Kuntaka: The Lost Ones. - Weird Gnomes.
"Kuntak" is a weird, outdated, and ancient religion of gnomes, where they believe that their destination in life, is to find the meaning and secret behind existence, then share the knowledge with the world. Every once in a while, there is one, not so intelligent Gnome, who decides to become a "Kuntaka" which in their language means "Seeker". They wander away to the unknown of the worlds, trying out different cultures, food, skills... and substances. In their eternal unsuccesfulness, at some point they become crazy, and they decide to lock themselves away from society to do the "Big Thinking", which is a time for them, to make plans for their next destinations. As a Kuntaka, you play after your "Big Thinking". Kuntakas are extremely underwhelming in skills, knowledges, strenght, cunningness, and... basically every aspect of life, but they are all pathological liars, and they are the best at convincing no one, but themselves about them being a celestial prophet, to the point where the odds are slowly turning on their side. Kuntakas are renegades of their society, preferring to not commune together with the other gnomes.
Classes: Mage, Warlock, Priest
(3)Special Ability: "Great Prophecy": Luck +1d
