I'm trying to make a character who is actually a dwarf, but has a fairly low intelligence (6-7 or so) and raised by gnomes and insists that he is in fact a gnome. I'm thinking he'd still get the dwarf traits that come from biology, but wouldn't have the Dwarven combat training, etc. and perhaps get the gnomish traits like tinkering even though he is dumb. Is there a way to change the racial traits in the standard character generator or is there something in the marketplace I could purchase to to so?
You could probably homebrew an entire race, but as a DM I would not be keen on it. Might I suggest just picking the dwarf surface that feels most gnomish, then choosing a custom background that also focuses on gnomish things (gnomish language, tinkers tool proficiency, 2 of stealth/nature/history/animal handling). Choose ideals and flaws that match - like you are uncomfortable around dwarves because they seem to treat you as a dwarf. Beyond that I don't think the concept requires more mechanical rules, just role play.

Its entirely RP based.
i have a schizophrenic goblin that all believes he is an elf. Did body mutilation on his ears. Speaks only in elvish. Etc etc.
