Summary 0002744: Nome racial patch!
Description Nomes are here. They are modeled after the Nomes appearing in "Return to Oz," scary-looking claymation people that moved through solid rock.

"Nomes are gravel-skinned humanoids that live deep under the surface as
wealthy scions of a small but fiercely defended subterranean empire. The few
explorers unfortunate enough to trespass upon their holdings are
swiftly dispatched by cold, stony hands reaching from the cavern
walls, for the Nomes are so attuned to the earth they can swim through
rock, stone or even metal like a shark through water.

Despite their frailty, inflexibility and small stature, Nomes are
powerful fighters when ensconced inside rock, gaining physical
durability and significantly tougher skin. They are familiar with the
smaller types of axes and mace favored by the neighboring deep
dwarves, though Nomes are still dangerous when armed only with their
stony fists. By nature, Nomes are peerless earth elementalists and
transmuters and abysmal air elementalists, and are generally attuned
to the more destructive magics. They advance in levels slightly less
quickly than humans."

So, uh... a race that trivializes every threat in the game?

will be very cool & unique though if we can figure out some way to balance it.

This race is indeed ridiculously overpowered right now. Leave feedback at this wiki page:

 - I'll try my best to make a second implementation that's somewhat challenging to play.

Second implementation attached - uses Wensleydale's suggested "earth attunement" mechanic with some changes, see wiki page for details. Aptitudes have also been lowered in many cases.

I get the feeling this one isn't going anywhere.
