| Rock Gnomes | |
| The most common type of gnome by far in most settings, Rock gnomes typically live in rocky hills and outcroppings close to the surface and in pockets rich in gems further down. What the Dwarves are to metal crafting, the Rock Gnomes are to gems and jewelry. One of the most interesting things about Gnomes is that almost all of them have some capacity to work simple Illusions Magic innately. Some Gnomes have quite a few different illusionary tricks up their sleeves in fact. | |

| Maven | |
| The Wizardry Magic System is detailed here. | |
| The Maven is typically a bright, talented, and motivated young Wizard who shows great promise but focuses on specific aspects of the Wizardly Arts, ignoring others. This tendency may exasperate their instructors, or perhaps they aren't choosing to do this so much as a pre-bias on the part of the instructor is causing their specialized learning pattern. For example, if a Maven's mentor is an Invoker, then that mentor will likely teach the Maven much more about Evocation magics and nothing at all about Conjuration. | |
| Mavens tend to go with what they are good at as they advance, and can become renowned masters of a particular type of Magic if they survive into old age. Graduate Wizards sometimes sneer at the Maven's failure to grasp certain aspects of the Wizardly Arts, but those sneers are often wiped away by a display of the Maven's mastery of their chosen fields of study. | |
| NOTE: This is the base package used to build "Specialist" Wizards. Name the Specialist School Skill as the recipient of the the +2 Bonus and select School Ineptitude for the Schools the Character cannot use. However, they have the option of not taking the School Ineptitude Disadvantage and leaving open the option to learn that type of Magic later. | |

| Larcenist | |
| Larcenists are Rogues that use their wits and skills to basically steal, nick, and make off with a wide variety of loot. They often concentrate on fast hands and faster feet, as a caught thief is likely a dead thief. One step ahead of the pack, or one step behind lurking in the shadows as they will, the Larcenist excels at living outside of the rules and boundaries of social propriety and legal entanglements. | |
| Compared to other professions, the Larcenist never worries about an empty pocket, because wherever there are people, there are funds to be fleeced. | |
