Forest gnome

Forest gnome Decay Timer 16 minutes Spirit Regeneration 2 per 5 min, ×2 on node Height 3.5' to 4', 4.25' max Weight 50 to 140 lbs. Languages Common, Gnomish

Forest Gnomes live in bloodline compounds deep within Elanthia's forests. They protect themselves through skilled camouflage, and often devious, and sometimes deadly, traps. Forest Gnomes live in a society of hunter-gatherers, depending on an exacting knowledge of their surrounding habitat, and some adept manipulation of their home to improve their hunting yield. Because of their more active lifestyles, Forest Gnomes are known to be more robust than their urban cousins. Living in the wild and working together has also helped them develop wisdom and discipline.

Gnomes never fail at ventriloquism attempts with the SAY verb and are the only race capable of speaking anonymously when hidden and throwing their voice (though it's not guaranteed).
