Mental Fortitude

When creating their first gearforged, gnome engineers put their efforts toward ensuring that the gnomish mind remained a mental fortress, though they were unable to fully replicate the gnomish mind's resilience once transferred to a soul gem. Choose Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. You have advantage on saving throws made with that ability score against magic.

Quick Fix

When you are below half your hit point maximum, you can use a bonus action to apply a quick patch up to your damaged body. You gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. You can't use this trait again until you finish a short or long rest.

About Gnome Chassis

The Gnome Chassis is a species with 3 racial traits.

Crafted for both exceptional functionality and aesthetic beauty, a gnome chassis' skin is clearly metallic but is meticulously colored to closely match gnomish skin tones, except at the joints, where gears and darker steel pistons are visible. Gnome chassis are almost always bald, with elaborate artistic patterns painted or etched on the face and skull in lieu of hair. Their eyes are vivid and lifelike, as is the chassis' gnomish face, which has a sculpted metal nose and articulated mouth and jaw. The gnome artisans who pioneered the first gearforged chassis saw it as an opportunity to not merely build a better body but to make it a work of art.
