    === Gnomes ===

    Description
    Gnomes are smaller than dwarves but larger than halflings. They, like the
    hobbits, live in the earth in burrow-like homes. Gnomes make excellent
    mages, and have very good saving throws. They are good at searching,
    disarming, perception, and stealth. They have lower strength than humans
    so they are not very good at fighting with hand weapons. Gnomes have fair
    infra-vision, so they can detect warm-blooded creatures at a distance. Gnomes
    are intrinsically protected against paralysis and some slowing effects. At
    higher levels, Gnomes learn to teleport at will.
