| Notes |
Darkvision: Gnomes have excellent low light vision. In most darkness outdoors and in dimly lit tunnels gnomes can see 15 meters (50 foot) perfectly and fairly well up to 30 meters (100 foot). In absolute darkness, they can see up to 3 meters (10 foot).
Hardness of Body: Gnomes are highly resistant to poison, with Endurance Rolls that relate to poisoning being 1 grade easier.
Magic Resistance: Like dwarves, gnomes are highly resistant to Arcane magic; Willpower Checks are 1 grade easier when used to resist.
Snivel the Gnome pulls out a dagger, and you can see that the blade is discoloured - poison! What's more, the Gnome is athletic, and he dodges and weaves, so he is not easy to hit.
