Integrated Light: Metrognomes can activate an integrated lighting system through their eyes, providing normal light in a 30-foot cone and increasing the light level by one step in the area beyond that, out to a 60-foot cone (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light).

Constructed: For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger’s favored enemy and bane weapons), metrognomes count as both gnomes and constructs. Metrognomes gain a +2 racial bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, and stun effects, are not subject to fatigue or exhaustion, and are immune to disease and sleep effects.

Vulnerable to Electricity: Metrognomes take 150% as much damage as normal from electricity attacks.
Swift Reactions (Ex): Metrognomes generally react much more swiftly than other constructs. They gain Improved Initiative and Lightning Reflexes as bonus feats, and gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC.
