| 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. | |

| Savant | |
| Savants are handy folk to have around, naturally skilled and adept at a wide variety of things. Possessed of a certain flair and panache, Savants are highly skilled or innately talented or both, able to make the impossible look easy. Jacks-of-all-trades, Savants often become adventurers for the sheer challenge and perhaps a relief from the boredom of dealing with normal people. | |
| Savants are often motivated by a desire to learn a new thing or two, or to test their wits against a worthy opponent. Savants usually concentrate on picking up new Skills, Perks, and information which might serve them in good stead. | |

| Backbiter | |
| Backbiters are akin to Warriors in that they train to kill, but unlike the generally more upfront Warriors, Backbiters take full advantage of shadow and misdirection. There is no fair or not fair, there is only survivor and deceased. Typically attacking from hiding or seeking to attack an opponent from behind, there is nothing that a good Backbiter hates more than a standup fight. | |
| Many Backbiters become mercenaries, adventurers, or soldiers of fortune, and are almost always looking for the easy money. Backbiters tend to increase their stealth and lethality over all other things. | |
