- Automatic Languages: Common, Gnome, Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Elven, Goblin, Halfling, Treant, and Orc.
- Spell-Like Abilities: At will pass without trace and speak with animals. Treat these abilities as spells cast by a druid of the forest gnome’s character level. These abilities are in addition to the standard gnome ability to cast certain cantrips. The gnome can only use these abilities on himself, not someone else.
