Garden Gnomes

As the barrier between the mortal and fae realms began to weaken, some beings were altered. Garden gnomes are a new subspecies of gnome, born of the wild magic of the fae. They possess an innate magical talent, and are predisposed toward trickery and mayhem. Though many garden gnomes may lead boring lives as desk clerks and lawyers and the like, most end up living lives of crime. This being the case, most places refuse to employ them, though they do make great entertainers. Many of the best-known bards, comedians, and royal fools over the last fifty years have been gnomish.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Garden gnomes are shorter in stature than regular gnomes, averaging around three feet tall, though much of that height is made up by the pointed hats that seem to be a part of their anatomy.

Just For Decoration When confronted with dangerous situations, most garden gnomes just pretend to be inanimate. Most of the time, it works. Outside of combat you can make a performance check(contested by the enemy's investigation) to attempt to appear as a plastic garden gnome. If there are already garden gnomes present, you make this check with advantage.
