You can play NetHack as a Gnome G[1]. Gnomes have infravision and can use uncursed touchstones as blessed, like an Archaeologist. As a gnome, you will also find the gnomish inhabitants of the Gnomish Mines to be generally peaceful.

Gnomes are always Neutral. They can be Archaeologists, Cavemen, Healers, Rangers or Wizards.

Gnomish items

Gnomes start with a crossbow instead of bow, and crossbow bolts instead of arrows. These are listed below. The weapon damage figures are copied from weap-343.txt.

  • crossbow - d2/d2
  • crossbow bolt - d4+1/d6+1

SLASH'EM

In SLASH'EM, gnomes can also be Flame Mages, Ice Mages, or Undead Slayers. Gnomes gain the Tinker technique at level 7, which allows them to upgrade certain items.

Footnotes

  1. You will see yourself as @, but you are actually considered to be letter G for other purposes.
