	Everybody knows that [[Dungeons & Dragons]] has something of a thing for halfbreed races. After all, the [[Half-Elf]] and [[Half-Orc]] have been around through almost every edition to actually bear the D&D title. [[Half-Dragon]]s are one of the more notorious monsters, and the existence of the [[~~tiefling~~]], [[~~aasimar~~]] and [[~~genasi~~]] obviously supports the existence of ~~half~~-~~fiends~~, ~~half~~-~~celestials~~ and ~~half~~-~~elementals~~ - unless you skip the middleman and just make them the half-whatever. Hell, even [[Half-~~dwarf~~]]s are a thing, ~~both~~ by their own name and by the [[Mul]] name.		Everybody knows that [[Dungeons & Dragons]] has something of a thing for halfbreed races.

	But what about ~~half~~-~~gnomes~~? After all, [[~~gnome~~]]s are traditionally categorized as being friendly, fun-loving and getting along great with ~~humans~~, to say nothing of being open-minded and innovative in contrast to the cautious conservatism of their ~~dwarfin~~ kinsfolk.

	Whilst the Krynnish ~~half~~-~~gnome~~ is the only official ~~half~~-~~gnome~~ in D&D so far, there is an alternative. [[Kingdoms of Kalamar]] introduced its own, far less annoying take on the half-gnome in [[Monster Manual\|Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene]].

::Medium
::Speed 30 feet
::Broken Mind: A Half-Gnome still suffers under a warped version of the divine curse placed on all Krynnish Tinker Gnomes, afflicting them with either hyper-focus or an inability to properly focus.

::Single-Minded: Choose one skill at 1st level; the Half-Gnome gains +2 on checks with that skill and always considers it a class skill, but if their skill-points in their "fixation" skill ever fall to equal or lower than their level, they suffer a -2 penalty to all other skill checks until they raise it higher again.
