SPECIAL ABILITIES
Arcane Dabbler (Trait): Can cast prestidigitation and open/close each once per day as a SLA.
Bond to the Land (Racial): Some gnomes have strong ties to specific kinds of terrain, as a holdover from their fey origins. These gnomes gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC when in a specific terrain type selected from the ranger list of favored terrains. This choice is made at character creation, and cannot be changed. This racial trait replaces defensive training and hatred.
Darkvision (Racial): 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.
Illusion Resistance (Racial): +2 bonus to saving throws versus illusion spells and effects
Fell Magic (Racial): Gnomes add +1 to the DC of any saving throws against necromancy spells that they cast. Gnomes with Wisdom scores of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—bleed, chill touch, detect poison, and touch of fatigue. 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 Wisdom modifier. This racial trait replaces gnome magic.
Magical Knack (Trait): +2 trait bonus to sorcerer caster level (maximum of hit dice)
Sneak Attack (Ex): When attacking an opponent not best able to defend himself (flanked, flat-footed), the rogue can strike for 1d6 extra precision damage.

BACKGROUND
Maynard was quite happy using his minor magical talents and quick fingers to relieve the citizens of Absalom of their unneeded extra gold and valuables, until the night he attempted to lift from the wrong man. Wands always fascinated him, and the one sticking from the vampire’s pocket was too good to resist, but the effort netted him more than he intended. He was found hours later, well-looted in an alleyway, drained of nearly all blood.
His recovery took months, and the close brush with undeath took its toll. His features hollowed, his muscles atrophied, and it was a long time before he could force himself to touch the light of day. Strangely enough, once he was recovered, it was his physical strength, not his stamina which was gone, as the undead taint on his constitution just made him tougher and more resilient than ever.
Ready to get back to his own brand of work, he fell in with members of the Dark Archive, intent on studying his peculiar reaction to near-vampirism. Mulling over his options, the Society didn’t seem so bad at all.
DESCRIPTION
At 3’3”, with limp black hair and pale skin, Maynard looks like death warmed over. Many gnomes mistake him for a well-Bleached poor soul, but while the attack left him with physical scars, his thirst for life remains very much intact.
