Gold Gnomes

Ability Score Increase +2 Intelligence, +1 Charisma
Size Small
Speed 25ft

Whether Gold Gnomes are named for the golden hue of their eyes or their affinity for working with glittering metal is still unknown. What is known is that they possess a natural awareness of the world around them; that in their hands, the metal may produce effects that border on magic. They are born with natural tattoo-like patterns sprawling across their skin, which take on the lustrous hue of their namesake.   The following attributes and features are gained in addition to the core gnome traits and features.   Ability Score Increase.  Your Charisma score increases by 1.    Keen Eyes.  You gain proficiency in the Perception skill.   Gilded Gifts.  During a long rest, you can utilize your innate connection with gold to gild an item and imbue it with magical benefits. These benefits last for 24 hours, or until you take another long rest (whichever comes first). When you gild an item, choose one of the following options: 

  • Gilded Armor. You take a nonmagical set of armor and line it with gold. The next creature who dons this armor gains temporary hit points equal to 5 + your Charisma modifier. 
  • Gilded Tools. You finely gild a set of tools. For the duration, when a creature makes an ability check using this set of tools, they can use your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier in place of the modifier they would normally use. 
  • Gilded Weapon. You press golden filigree into one nonmagical weapon. For the duration, the weapon counts as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances, and the first successful attack with the weapon is an automatic critical hit.
