Following the ways of the druids of old, the forest gnomes were able to establish themselves in the dreaming veil of the animals and plants of the world. They dream of beautiful things, a colorful meadow, a babbling brook and warm breeze. It was in these dreams that the forest gnomes developed the ability to talk to animals as well._ ### As a playable race Forest Gnome is a standard playable race in 5e and [Verum](Verum.md). > |<!-- -->|<!-- -->| > |---|---| > |**Ability Scores**:|- +2 INT<br>- +1 DEX| > |**Size**|Gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 40 pounds.
