I'm not sure where this came from, but I just got an itch to create a 4e monster. Starting with the gnome skulk but removing some skulkiness, adding a dash of feyborn and a pinch of gargoyle, we get...

The garden gnome turns invisible until it attacks or until the end of its next turn.

The garden gnome becomes a statue and gains resist 15 to all damage, regeneration 2, and tremorsense 5. It loses all other senses and can take no actions in stone form other than revert to its normal form (as a minor action).

The Gnome Stew must know about this! Hahaha!
I think I'm in love.
Brilliant stuff :)
Thanks.
This was really just a filler post 'cause I had a crazy day yesterday, but I'm glad you guys dig it.
4e monster creation is so easy I think it took less than ten minutes to put the garden gnome stat block together.
