SPECIAL ABILITIES:
Academician: Some gnomes are more academically inclined than their kin. Gnomes with this racial trait gain a +2 bonus on any single Knowledge skill. This racial trait replaces the obsessive racial trait. Has selected Knowledge: Arcana.
Arcane Bloodline: Your family has always been skilled in the art of magic. While many of your relatives were accomplished wizards, your powers developed without the need for study and practice.
Arcane Bond (Su): You have selected to establish a powerful arcane bond with a creature.
Bloodline Arcana: Whenever you apply a metamagic feat to a spell that increases the slot used by at least one level, increase the spell's DC by +1. This bonus does not stack with itself and does not apply to spells modified by the Heighten Spell feat.
Cantrips: You learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Darkvision: Some gnome strains have lived in the underground depths for so long they have given up on light entirely and gained darkvision with a range of 60 feet. This racial trait replaces low-light vision and keen senses.
Eternal Hope: Gnomes rarely lose hope and are always confident that even hopeless situations will work out. Gnomes with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear and despair effects. Once per day, after rolling a 1 on a d20, the gnome may reroll and use the second result. This racial trait replaces defensive training and hatred.
Excitable: You demand that everything must happen right now, no matter what, and are too impatient to wait for everyone else to catch up. You finish people's sentences, blurt out the punch lines to slowly-told jokes, rarely make plans, and leap headlong into anything that looks like it might get interesting. While this has sometimes gotten you in trouble, it's also trained you to start moving a split second before everyone else, and that's saved your hide a few times as well.
Fey Thoughts: Select two of the following skills: Acrobatics, Bluff, Climb, Diplomacy, Disguise, Escape Artist, Fly, Knowledge (nature), Perception, Perform, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Swim, or Use Magic Device. The selected skills are always class skills for the character. This trait replaces racial weapon familiarity. Has chosen Perception and Stealth.
Familiar: A familiar grants special abilities to its master. These special abilities apply only when the master and familiar are within 1 mile of each other.
Gnome Magic (Sp): Gnomes add +1 to the DC of any saving throws against illusion spells that they cast. Gnomes with a Charisma of 11 or higher also gain spell-like abilities.
Illusion Resistance (Ex): Gnomes get a +2 racial saving throw bonus against illusion spells or effects.
Magical Lineage: One of your parents was a gifted spellcaster who not only used metamagic often, but developed many magical items and perhaps even a new spell or two--and you have inherited a fragment of this greatness. When you apply metamagic feats to Silent Image, treat its actual level as 1 lower for determining the spell's final adjusted level.
Metamagic Adept (Ex): At 3rd level, you can apply any one metamagic feat you know to a spell you are about to cast without increasing the casting time. You must still expend a higher-level spell slot to cast this spell. You can use this ability once per day at 3rd level and one additional time per day for every four sorcerer levels you possess beyond 3rd, up to five times per day at 19th level. At 20th level, this ability is replaced by arcane apotheosis.
BACKGROUND:
A surly-looking, battle-hardened dwarf with scars and tattoos stands silently. He seems to be protecting a skittish-looking gnome, perhaps as a bodyguard.
The gnome speaks up apprehensively.
"Say, is there something hiding under the desk, Ripley?" the gnome asks. A small, draconic creature perches on the gnome's shoulder. It looks weary, as if it hasn't slept in days. It almost seems to sigh, then looks under the desk.
It all started when a brick flew through the window. Tied around the brick was a note, reading “You’re a dead gnome!”
It was time to run…again.
Who had found him now, despite his abundance of caution? The Whispering Way? Dami-Anaeshem? The Red Mantis? Auntie Baltwin? It didn’t matter…he hadn’t much time.
He already knew who he would be next. The voluptuous elven red-head, Kyriani, and if anyone saw through the illusion, he would now be 'Mr. Copperpot.'
Where to? Aunt Tessy’s? Join The Silver Crusade? What about that land rush south of Brevoy? Far away and with no inhabitants! Perfect! He would venture forth to these ‘Stolen Lands,’ far from whoever had tracked him down. This burgeoning kingdom in the wild had need of Councilors, Diplomats, Magisters…it didn’t really matter, so long as he could get out of here.
Hurrying to grab some cases of scrolls, his pipe, and of course, his familiar Ripley, the gnome rushed out into the night, never to return again. His new life would be in the Stolen Lands, as ‘Mr. Copperpot.’
Mr. Copperpot is, in a word, paranoid. He suffers from a long-standing pattern of pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others. He will nearly always believe that other people’s motives are suspect or even malevolent. He worries that others will exploit, harm, or deceive him, even if little or no evidence exists to support this expectation. Mr. Copperpot is hypervigilant for potential threats, and often acts in a guarded, secretive, or devious manner. To protect himself, he uses his powerful illusions to create a veil he lives behind. He can be anything…anyone.
Although often he may appear to be cooperative, rational, and unemotional, under the surface boil hostility, stubbornness, and sarcastic expressions. What caused this inherent distrust? Can he learn to cooperate and trust others? Can he make friends and contribute? All of this remains to be seen, and Mr. Copperpot does not share many answers. Who could he trust to share them with?
