Gnomes, Gnomes, Gnomes (Got any to buy?)

I'm not really sure if this is exactly the right place to put this, but here goes::: I'm looking to run a 1-shot 5e campaign where the world is filled with evil little gnomes. However, having searched my eyeballs out, I can not seem to find a 5e equivalent to just a plain generic monster type gnome, other than the deep gnomes. In fact none of the races seem to have a monster equivalent other than the dark underbrothers, (drow,svirfneblin, duergar, etc). In all previous editions of D&D, there has always been a monster equivalent for the player races, not just the underdark subraces.  And I really would like to just populate this campaign with simple gnome monsters, rather than having to make them all class specific like fighters, wizards, etc.  Can anyone help a girl out here and point me in the right direction.   Please keep in mind I know the DMG has a method to do this, but it is a long, drawn out, painful process for me to build monsters from scratch. Thanks in advance to everybody who may be able to help :D

Nope, Roll20 forums are not meant for discussion of game lore and game mechanics unrelated to their Roll20 implementation. The RPG Exchange or forums specific for the game mentioned are more suited for this. Have you looked on the Forgotten Realms wikia?
Yeah,, I was asking more as if anybody knew of any that were created in the marketplace, rather than external sources, which I would happily purchase if they were available.

In that case, I'll shift this over to The Marketplace :)

As it was pointed out about non roll20 topic discussions already, I will leave it at that but I will move along with art assets in the marketplace :  Gnomes

I believe what the OP is looking to buy is statted out gnome monsters, not just art.&nbsp; I could be wrong.&nbsp; :)

Tome of Beasts offers one statted out gnome monster - the Devilbound Gnomish Prince, a CR 9 creature. The Monster Manual and Volo's Guide are the only other marketplace item I know that has statted monsters. My suggestion to OP is find art that you like on the marketplace then use those for tokens. Volo's guide has a whole lot of generic NPC statted monsters, as does the Monster Manual (but the tokens will not represent gnomes, which is why I suggest finding the art). Here are the generic NPCs in Volo's:&nbsp; Abjurer Apprentice Wizard Archdruid Archer Bard Blackguard Champion Conjurer Diviner Enchanter Evoker Illusionist Kraken Priest Martial Arts Adept Master Thief Necromancer Swashbuckler Transmuter War Priest Warlock of the Archfey Warlock of the Fiend Warlock of the Great Old One Warlord And here is what is in the Monster Manual: Acolyte Archmage Assassin Bandit Bandit Captain Berserker Commoner Cultist Cult Fanatic Druid Gladiator Guard Knight Mage Noble Priest Scout Spy Thug Tribal Warrior Veteran

yes, thnx again GenKitty :)&nbsp;&nbsp; However, upon reexamining the MM, it looks like the Commoner would be usefull since it can be any race and is not really specialized in anything, which is what i kinda want..... that notwithstanding if anybody were to tweek the stats a bit to be more fitting to gnomes and offer it up on the marketplace, i still might be interested in purchasing :) thanxs for all the help and sugestions everybody :)
