Guild Membership
As an established and respected member of a
guild, you can rely on certain benefits that
membership provides. Your fellow guild
members will provide you with lodging and
food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if
needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall
offers a central place to meet other members
of your profession, which can be a good place
to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.
Guilds often wield tremendous political power.
If you are accused of a crime, your guild will
support you if a good case can be made for
your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You
can also gain access to powerful political
figures through the guild, if you are a member
in good standing. Such connections might
require the donation of money or magic items
to the guild's coffers. You must pay dues of 5
gp per month to the guild. If you miss
payments, you must make up back dues to
remain in the guild's good graces.
Age
Gnomes mature at the same rate humans do,
and most are expected to settle down into an
adult life by around age 40. They can live 350
to almost 500 years.
Size
Gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and
average about 40 pounds. Your size is Small.
Darkvision
Accustomed to life underground, you have
superior vision in dark and dim conditions.
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it
were dim light. You can't discern color in
darkness, only shades of gray.
Gnome Cunning
You have advantage on all Intelligence,
Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against
magic.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and
Gnomish. The Gnomish language, which uses
the Dwarvish script, is renowned for its
technical treatises and its catalogs of
knowledge about the natural world.
Natural Illusionist
You know the minor illusion cantrip.
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it.
Speak with Small Beasts
Through sounds and gestures, you can
communicate simple ideas with Small or
smaller beasts. Forest gnomes love animals
and often keep squirrels, badgers, rabbits,
moles, woodpeckers, and other creatures as
beloved pets.
FEATURES & TRAITS
Bardic Inspiration
You can inspire others through stirring words
or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on
your turn to choose one creature other than
yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear
you. That creature gains one Bardic
Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10
minutes, the creature can roll the die and add
the number rolled to one ability check, attack
roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature
can wait until after it rolls the d20 before
deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but
must decide before the DM says whether the
roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic
Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature
can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a
time. You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Charisma modifier (a
minimum of once). You regain any expended
uses when you finish a long rest. Your Bardic
Inspiration die changes when you reach
certain levels in this class. The die becomes a
d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12
at 15th level.
Spellcasting
You have learned to untangle and reshape the
fabric of reality in harmony with your wishes
and music. Your spells are part of your vast
repertoire, magic that you can tune to different
situations. See chapter 10 for the general
rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the
bard spell list. Cantrips[–] You know two
cantrips of your choice from the bard spell list.
You learn additional bard cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, learning a 3rd cantrip
at 4th level and a 4th at 10th level. Spell
Slots[–] The Bard table shows how many spell
slots you have to cast your bard spells of 1st
level and higher. To cast one of these spells,
you must expend a slot of the spell's level or
higher. You regain all expended spell slots
when you finish a long rest. For example, if
you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and
have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot
available, you can cast cure wounds using
either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and
Higher[–] You know four 1st-level spells of
your choice from the bard spell list. You learn
an additional bard spell of your choice at each
level except 12th, 16th, 19th, and 20th. Each
of these spells must be of a level for which
you have spell slots. For instance, when you
reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one
new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally,
when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the bard spells you know and
replace it with another spell from the bard
spell list, which also must be of a level for
which you have spell slots. Spellcasting
Ability[–] Charisma is your spellcasting ability
for your bard spells. Your magic comes from
the heart and soul you pour into the
performance of your music or oration. You use
your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Charisma modifier when setting the saving
throw DC for a bard spell you cast and when
making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC
= 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier Spell attack modifier = your
proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Ritual Casting[–] You can cast any bard spell
you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual
tag. Spellcasting Focus[–] You can use a
musical instrument as a spellcasting focus for
your bard spells.
Jack of All Trades
Starting at 2nd level, you can add half your
proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any
ability check you make that doesn't already
include your proficiency bonus.
Song of Rest (d6)
Beginning at 2nd level, you can use soothing
music or oration to help revitalize your
wounded allies during a short rest. If you or
any friendly creatures who can hear your
performance regain hit points by spending Hit
Dice at the end of the short rest, each of those
creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points. The
extra hit points increase when you reach
certain levels in this class: to 1d8 at 9th level,
to 1d10 at 13th level, and to 1d12 at 17th
level.
Magical Inspiration
2nd-level bard optional feature If a creature
has a Bardic Inspiration die from you and
casts a spell that restores hit points or deals
damage, the creature can roll that die and
choose a target affected by the spell. Add the
number rolled as a bonus to the hit points
regained or the damage dealt. The Bardic
Inspiration die is then lost.
Expertise
At 3rd level, choose two of your skill
proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is
doubled for any ability check you make that
uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At
10th level, you can choose another two skill
proficiencies to gain this benefit.
College of Lore
Bards of the College of Lore know something
about most things, collecting bits of
knowledge from sources as diverse as
scholarly tomes and peasant tales. Whether
singing folk ballads in taverns or elaborate
compositions in royal courts, these bards use
their gifts to hold audiences spellbound. When
the applause dies down, the audience
members might find themselves questioning
everything they held to be true, from their faith
in the priesthood of the local temple to their
loyalty to the king. The loyalty of these bards
lies in the pursuit of beauty and truth, not in
fealty to a monarch or following the tenets of a
deity. A noble who keeps such a bard as a
herald or advisor knows that the bard would
rather be honest than politic. The college's
members gather in libraries and sometimes in
actual colleges, complete with classrooms
and dormitories, to share their lore with one
another. They also meet at festivals or affairs
of state, where they can expose corruption,
unravel lies, and poke fun at self-important
figures of authority. Bonus Proficiencies PHB
p54[–] When you join the College of Lore at
3rd level, you gain proficiency with three skills
of your choice. Cutting Words PHB p54[–]
Also at 3rd level, you learn how to use your wit
to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the
confidence and competence of others. When
a creature that you can see within 60 feet of
you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a
damage roll, you can use your reaction to
expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration,
rolling a Bardic Inspiration die and subtracting
the number rolled from the creature's roll. You
can choose to use this feature after the
creature makes its roll, but before the DM
determines whether the attack roll or ability
check succeeds or fails, or before the creature
deals its damage. The creature is immune if it
can't hear you or if it's immune to being
charmed.

Minor Illusion
Illusion cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: See text
Components: S M
Duration: 1 minute
Description:
You create a sound or an image of an object
within range that lasts for the duration. The
illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action
or cast this spell again. If you create a sound,
its volume can range from a whisper to a
scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s
voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any
other sound you choose. The sound continues
unabated throughout the duration, or you can
make discrete sounds at different times before
the spell ends. If you create an image of an
object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or
a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-
foot cube. The image can’t create sound, light,
smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical
interaction with the image reveals it to be an
illusion, because things can pass through it. If
a creature uses its action to examine the
sound or image, the creature can determine
that it is an illusion with a successful
Intelligence (Investigation) check against your
spell save DC. If a creature discerns the
illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint
to the creature.
Prestidigitation
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Target: See text
Components: V S
Duration: Up to 1 hour
Description:
This spell is a minor magical trick that novice
spellcasters use for practice. You create one
of the following magical effects within range:
You create an instantaneous, harmless
sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a
puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd
odor. You instantaneously light or snuff out a
candle, a torch, or a small campfire. You
instantaneously clean or soil an object no
larger than 1 cubic foot. You chill, warm, or
flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material
for 1 hour. You make a color, a small mark, or
a symbol appear on an object or a surface for
1 hour. You create a nonmagical trinket or an
illusory image that can fit in your hand and
that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you
cast this spell multiple times, you can have up
to three of its non-instantaneous effects active
at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect
as an action.
SPELLS
Mending
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: A single break or tear in an object you
touch
Components: V S M
Duration: Instantaneous
Description:
This spell repairs a single break or tear in an
object you touch, such as a broken chain link,
two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a
leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear
is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you
mend it, leaving no trace of the former
damage. This spell can physically repair a
magic item or construct, but the spell can’t
restore magic to such an object.
Comprehend Languages
Divination 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: V S M
Duration: 1 hour
Description:
For the duration, you understand the literal
meaning of any spoken language that you
hear. You also understand any written
language that you see, but you must be
touching the surface on which the words are
written. It takes about 1 minute to read one
page of text. This spell doesn’t decode secret
messages in a text or a glyph, such as an
arcane sigil, that isn’t part of a written
language.
Faerie Fire
Evocation 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: Each object in a 20-foot cube within
range
Components: V
Duration: ConcentrationUp to 1 minute
Description:
Each object in a 20-foot cube within range is
outlined in blue, green, or violet light (your
choice). Any creature in the area when the
spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a
Dexterity saving throw. For the duration,
objects and affected creatures shed dim light
in a 10-foot radius. Any attack roll against an
affected creature or object has advantage if
the attacker can see it, and the affected
creature or object can’t benefit from being
invisible.
Charm Person
Enchantment 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: A humanoid you can see within range
Components: V S
Duration: 1 hour
Description:
You attempt to charm a humanoid you can
see within range. It must make a Wisdom
saving throw, and does so with advantage if
you or your companions are fighting it. If it
fails the saving throw, it is charmed by you
until the spell ends or until you or your
companions do anything harmful to it. The
charmed creature regards you as a friendly
acquaintance. When the spell ends, the
creature knows it was charmed by you.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell
using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you
can target one additional creature for each
slot level above 1st. The creatures must be
within 30 feet of each other when you target
them.
Healing Word
Evocation 1
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Target: A creature of your choice that you can
see within range
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Description:
A creature of your choice that you can see
within range regains hit points equal to 1d4 +
your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell
has no effect on undead or constructs.

using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the
Healing increases by 1d4 for each slot level
above 1st.
Calm Emotions
Enchantment 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: Each humanoid in a 20-foot-radius
sphere centered on a point you choose within
range
Components: V S
Duration: ConcentrationUp to 1 minute
Description:
You attempt to suppress strong emotions in a
group of people. Each humanoid in a 20-foot-
radius sphere centered on a point you choose
within range must make a Charisma saving
throw; a creature can choose to fail this saving
throw if it wishes. If a creature fails its saving
throw, choose one of the following two
effects. You can suppress any effect causing a
target to be charmed or frightened. When this
spell ends, any suppressed effect resumes,
provided that its duration has not expired in
the meantime. Alternatively, you can make a
target indifferent about creatures of your
choice that it is hostile toward. This
indifference ends if the target is attacked or
harmed by a spell or if it witnesses any of its
friends being harmed. When the spell ends,
the creature becomes hostile again, unless the
GM rules otherwise.
Blindness Deafness
Necromancy 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 ft
Target:

choice) for the duration. At the end of each of
its turns, the target can make a Constitution
saving throw. On a success, the spell ends. At
Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can
target one additional creature for each slot
level above 2nd.
