- | |'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Magical Talent:</u> At 1st level, a gnome chooses ''dancing lights'', ''ghost sound'', ''prestidigitation'', or ''summon instrument'' to have as a spell-like ability that they may use at will. The caster level is equal to your character level, and the save DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 character level + Charisma modifier. If Summon Instrument is chosen, only one instance of the spell-like ability may be active at one time (so summoning a second instrument dispels the first).<br><u>Illusion Sense:</u> Whenever gnomes see an illusionary image effect (such as from Silent Image, Minor Image, etc), they automatically get a save to disbelieve that image without having to interact with it. They receive a +4 racial bonus to such saves. | + | |'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Magical Talent (Sp):</u> At 1st level, a gnome chooses ''dancing lights'', ''ghost sound'', ''prestidigitation'', or ''summon instrument'' to have as a spell-like ability that they may use at will.
