Are they mechanically inclined, like dwarves? When I think of the other core races I see a place for them. Gnomes seem like an add-on.

Remember that the very word "gnome" comes from the greek "gnosis", which just mean Mythically, gnomes were the little fey who knew every secret of nature and alchemy, and that alchemists associated with Hermes.
