Homebrew Half-elf-gnome Species Details
Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither, half-elf-gnomes combine what some say are the best qualities of their elf and gnome parents: gnome, inventiveness, and intuition tempered by the refined senses, love of nature, and artistic tastes of the elves. Most half-elf-gnomes, unable to fit into either society, choose lives of solitary wandering or join with other misfits and outcasts in the adventuring life.
Of Two Worlds
To gnomes and elves, half-elf-gnomes look like humans. In height, they average out between the tall elves and small gnomes. They average 5 feet tall, and from 100 to 130 pounds, with men only slightly taller and heavier than women. Half-elf-gnome men do have facial hair, and sometimes grow beards to mask their elven ancestry. Half-elf-gnomish coloration and features lie fairly close to humans and thus show a variety even more pronounced than that found among either race. They tend to have the eyes of their elven parents.
Diplomats or Wanderers
Half-elf-gnomes have no lands of their own, though they are welcome in human cities and somewhat less welcome in elven forests and gnome burrows.
In most parts of the world, though, half-elf-gnomes are rare enough that one might live for years without meeting another. Some half-elf-gnomes prefer to travel the world meeting all kinds of people, wandering the wilds as trappers, foresters, hunters, or adventurers and visiting civilization only rarely. Like elves, they are driven by the wanderlust that comes of their longevity. Others, in contrast, throw themselves into the thick of society, putting their charisma and social skills to great use in diplomatic roles or as swindlers.
Half-Elf Names
Half-elf-gnomes can be given elven, gnomish or even human names due to the fact that many of them are abandoned and adopted by humans who may believe them to be humans as well, some may never know theyre true race. others are raised separately from any civilizations by one, rarely both parents in an attempt to not be judged by society.
