Are gnomes made from lead?

Apparently gnomes aren't thin-built in DFRPG.

I was thinking particularly of the gnomes in Nordvorn, the Nordlandr Folk’s art. But yeah, the standard gnome links directly to the Adventurer’s race entry with a few tweaks, but not physical changes.

On page 7, for Nordvorn-style halflings, it has the Neveri Halflings as 1-2” taller and 5-10lbs lighter. (The same page has optional rules to lower weight (and DR) with SM reductions, something my players asked for.)

2” and 10lbs may not scales these little guys into human-like proportions, but hey magic.

The other good idea from Nordlandr Folk is the dwarve’s close affiliation to stone, i.e. stone-like skin texture and color. Need Nordic twist on the classic dwarf.

Classic Nordic dverge are made from carrion maggots in the corpse of the ur-giant Ymer. There are four of them that hold up the sky.
