*Weapon Familiarity: Gnomes may treat gnome hooked hammers as martial weapons rather than exotic weapons.
*2 racial bonus on saving throws against illusions.

*+1 racial bonus on attack rolls against kobolds and goblinoids.

A gnome with a Charisma score of at least 10 also has the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, ghost sound, prestidigitation.

Class Abilities:
Spoiler:
Armored Mage (Ex): Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster's gestures, which can cause your spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A beguiler's limited focus and specialized training, however, allow you to avoid any chance of arcane spell failure as long as you restrict yourself to light armor. This training does not extend to any other from of armor, nor does this ability apply to spells gained from other spell-casting classes.
Trapfinding: Beguilers can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. Finding a nonmgical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.
Beguilers can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap typically has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.
A beguiler who beats a trap's DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his allies) without disarming it.
Cloaked Casting(Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a beguiler's spells become more and more effective when cast against an unwary foe. You gain a +1 bonus to the spell's save DC when you cast a spell that targets ant foe who would be denied a dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a dexterity bonus or not).
Surprise Casting (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, when you successfully use the Bluff skill to feint in combat, your target is denied its Dexterity bonus (if it has one) to AC for the next melee attack you make against it or the next spell you cast. you must remain in melee with the target, and the attack must be made or the spell cast on or before your next turn. The target is not considered flat-footed and therefore can make attacks of opportunity against you if you do not cast defensively.
