Special Abilities Arcane School Specialized in Illusion; Enchantment and Necromancy are opposed schools
Bloodline Arcana (Class) Your powers of compulsion can affect even bestial creatures. Whenever you cast a mind-affecting or language-dependent spell, it affects animals, magical beasts, and monstrous humanoids as if they were humanoids who understood your language.[/b]
Extended Illusions (Su) Any illusion spell you cast with a duration of “concentration” lasts a number of additional rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level after you stop maintaining concentration (minimum +1 round). At 20th level, you can make one illusion spell with a duration of “concentration” become permanent. You can have no more than one illusion made permanent in this way at one time. If you designate another illusion as permanent, the previous permanent illusion ends.
Face In the Crowd (Sp) At 1st level as a standard action, you can cause yourself to appear so normal, mundane, and unexceptional that you blend in to your surroundings. All creatures within 30 feet treat you as if you belonged there, effectively ignoring you. Creatures outside of this area may notice that you appear out of place, but as soon as they approach within 30 feet they are affected by the magic and no longer think something is amiss. If you interact with an affected creature in any way, it gains a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your wizard level + your Intelligence modifier) to disbelieve the illusion and notice you. The effect lasts for a number of minutes equal to your wizard level, or until the illusion is dispelled. The minutes do not need to be consecutive, but must be used in 1-minute increments. This is a mind-affecting phantasm effect.
This ability does not turn you invisible and opponents are not considered flat-footed. It does not allow you to disguise yourself as a specific individual, type of person, or member of another race, so you cannot blend into a group of uniformed guards or appear as a member of an individual’s family, and a human cannot blend into a group of gnolls. You can blend in with any group made up of different types of people, such as a crowd of courtiers in a king’s throne room, and you can disguise yourself (either through magic or more mundane means) to appear as a specific type of person or another race (such as a uniformed guard or a gnoll) before using this ability.
Familiar Tattoo—Viper A tattooed sorcerer gains a familiar as an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to her sorcerer level. Her sorcerer levels stack with any wizard or witch levels she possesses when determining the powers of her familiar—this ability does not allow her to have both a familiar and a bonded item.
Unlike most familiars, her familiar can transform itself into a tattoo that she carries in her flesh. Transforming into a tattoo or back to normal familiar form is a move action for her familiar. In tattoo form, the familiar looks like a stylized version of itself, but does not count as a creature separate from the tattooed sorcerer. In tattoo form it continues to grant its special familiar ability, but otherwise has no abilities and can take no actions except to transform from tattoo into creature. A familiar tattoo cannot be erased or dispelled.

Gnomes with Charisma scores of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, ghost sound (DC 17), prestidigitation, and speak with animals. The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnome's level. The DC for these spells is equal to 10 + the spell's level + the gnome's Charisma modifier.

BACKGROUND
Every young gnome, no matter how carefree his life to date, has one worry buried deep down inside him - that he will come to a point that life is no longer interesting or exciting enough to keep him young, and the bleaching will begin. So it was a wake-up call to Gilfroy Fezziwig when his hair began to whiten at the tender age of 49!
Gilfroy was a precocious young lad, the son of a respectable jeweler and baker in Absalom. Gil spent many a day frolicking about the city streets, looking for trouble and always managing to find it. He enjoyed a good prank, like many boys, though he always did his best to make sure that his mark deserved what he got: a wagon driver who whipped his horses a bit too much, a washerwoman who dumped her bucket on the heads of passers-by, or a fruit vendor who was too watchful of her wares with the hungry young gnome about.
Like many gnomish youths, Gilfroy took up a craft; he apprenticed himself to a local painter. His parents were grateful for this, hoping against hope that their mischievous son would finally settle down and do something respectable, but at least interesting, with his life. Unfortunately, Gilfroy lacked a deft touch with the brush, and soon washed out. His master, however, did connect him with a woman by the name of Mim, a tattoo artist. In this study, Gilfroy found a certain ability. His parents approved less of this, but it did seem that perhaps Gilfroy would settle down into this vocation. Unfortunately, Mim was equally as incorrigible and encouraged her young charge in his gallivanting, to the point of turning his pranks into an art form in and of themselves. As such, after two years of study, his tattoos took on a childish whimsy full of laughter and caprice. When his training was complete, he, showing a fair amount of talent at it, set out from Absalom into the world to seek his fortune. Though he had dreams of crafting elegant tattoos to grace the skin of the rich and powerful, his talent was far too middling, style too frivolous, and salesmanship too lacking to convince rich mucky-mucks to let the young gnome poke them with needles, and he found himself, a few months later, at his stand in a busy marketplace in Magnimar, offering simple tattoos to sailors and merchant guards for one silver coin a piece.
Years dragged on with Gilfroy at this menial task before he found the first of many white hairs scattered throughout his usual azure mane. Within a month, his entire head of hair had gone completely white, and the ruddiness was fading from his face. Barely making enough money to survive, he had none for a long journey back to Absalom, especially in his current condition. Resigned to his fate of an early demise, Gilfroy first assumed that dementia was setting in when the tattoo he was inking that day turned and spoke to him, calling him by name, and inquiring as to his plans for the future! How he must have looked, staring dumbfounded at the left forearm of the Mierani elven ambassadour's valet! The rest of his tattoos that day moved and gallivanted about in a most disturbing fashion, but at least no more spoke. That night, he bolted himself into the hovel he rented and refused to leave for three whole days. At last, hunger drove him out to work his stand once again, and again, his tattoos moved, spoke, and even sang to him. The young couple of newly-weds thought Gilfroy quite odd when the gnome finally worked up the courage to reply to the tattoo. Aware, suddenly, that he was drawing attention, Gilfroy quickly closed up his stand, made his way home, and hurriedly drew the shadowy image of a woman that came to his mind. Immediately, the drawing began to speak to him of illusions and riddles hidden in the world, hidden within the very construction of the world itself. Many of the details of that enchanted lecture quickly faded from his memory, but it excited him anew with zest for life. Colour returned to his features, although his hair remained white. Magic flooded him, and he knew how to use it.
His heavy artists smocks he left where they hang in his tiny closet, instead choosing simple lightweight clothing he had seen the students at the Irori temple wear. He was not a very strong gnome, after all, and he didn't want anything slowing him down. He sold off all the possessions he could, which wasn't much, and set out once more to see the world, vowing to actually see it this time, and possibly unraveling its mysteries.
He decided to head north; he had no particular reason for choosing north, other than that it seemed a more intriguing direction than towards the known quantity of the Inner Sea region, and he never did like the heat.
DESCRIPTION
Gilfroy Fezziwig, or “Gil” to his friends (not that he has any at the moment) is a gnome of very slight and frail stature. He wears a robe more suited to an ascetic monk of Irori, rather than a gnomish student of Sivanah, but that’s all just part of one of many deceptions in which he cocoons himself. Around his waist, he wears a sash of what looks like old, knotted, mismatched scarves – seven, to be precise. This sash serves as his holy symbol, and he makes good use of it during prayer rituals and the casting of his new-found magic. As he walks, he labours under the weight of his small crossbow which he wears slung over his shoulder. A quiver of bolts and a sheathed dagger weigh down his belt.
Gilfroy stands at a height of 3’1”, and weighs a measly 34 lbs. His hair is snow white, though his features are ruddy; a smile is never far from his face, nor a twinkle from his eye. The keen eye of a careful observer might notice, however, that any shadow he casts has a slight skip to its step and an extra flip of its hair.
