</noinclude>==Forest Gnomes==

Also see the [[SRD:Gnome|gnome]] creature listing.

They are the smallest of all the gnomes, averaging 2 to 2-1/2 feet in height, but look just like regular gnomes except with bark-colored or gray-green skin, and eyes that can be brown or green as well as blue. A very long-lived people, forest gnomes have an average life expectancy of 500 years.

* +2 [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]], –2 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]].
* ''[[SRD:Humanoid Type|Humanoid]] (Gnome)''
* ''[[SRD:Small|Small]]:'' As a [[SRD:Small|Small]] creature, a forest gnome gains a +1 size bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|Armor Class]], a +1 size bonus on [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack rolls]], and a +4 size bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks, but he uses smaller weapons than [[SRD:Humans (Race)|human]]s use, and his lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a [[SRD:Medium|Medium]] character.
* Forest gnome [[SRD:Base Land Speed|base land speed]] is 20 feet.
* ''[[SRD:Low-Light Vision|Low-Light Vision]]:'' A forest gnome can see twice as far as a [[SRD:Humans (Race)|human]] in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
* ''Weapon Familiarity:'' Forest gnomes may treat [[SRD:Gnome Hooked Hammer|gnome hooked hammer]]s as martial weapons rather than exotic weapons.
* ''Pass without Trace ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):'' A forest gnome has the innate ability to use ''[[SRD:Pass without Trace|pass without trace]]'' (self only, as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]]) as the spell cast by a [[SRD:Druid|druid]] of the forest gnome’s [[SRD:Classes|class levels]].
* +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]] against [[SRD:Illusion School|illusions]].
* Add +1 to the [[SRD:DC|Difficulty Class]] for all [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]] against illusion spells cast by forest gnomes. This adjustment stacks with those from similar effects.
* +1 racial bonus on [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack rolls]] against [[SRD:Goblinoid Subtype|goblinoids]], [[SRD:Orc|orcs]], and [[:category:reptilian Subtype|reptilian]] [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoids]].
* +4 dodge bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|Armor Class]] against monsters of the [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] type. Any time a creature loses its [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus (if any) to [[SRD:Armor Class|Armor Class]], such as when it’s caught [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]], it loses its dodge bonus, too.
* +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] checks.
* +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] (alchemy) checks.
* +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks, which improves to +8 in a wooded area.
* ''[[SRD:Automatic Language|Automatic Languages]]:'' Gnome, Elven, Sylvan, and a simple language that enables them to communicate on a very basic level with forest [[SRD:Animal Type|animals]]. ''[[SRD:Bonus Language|Bonus Languages]]:'' Common, Draconic, Dwarven, [[SRD:Giant Type|Giant]], Goblin, Orc.
* ''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:'' A forest gnome with a [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] score of at least 10 has the following [[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|spell-like abilities]]: 1/day—''[[SRD:Dancing Lights|dancing lights]], [[SRD:Ghost Sound|ghost sound]], [[SRD:Prestidigitation|prestidigitation]].'' [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 1st; save [[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 + forest gnome’s [[SRD:Charisma|Cha]] modifier + [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]].
* ''[[SRD:Favored Class|Favored Class]]:'' [[SRD:Bard|Bard]]. A [[SRD:Multiclass Characters|multiclass]] forest gnome’s [[SRD:Bard|bard]] [[SRD:Class|class]] does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty.
* ''[[SRD:Level Adjustment|Level Adjustment]]:'' +0<noinclude>
