Deep Gnome 5e
A deep gnome, also known as a svirfneblin, is a subrace of a gnome in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (5th edition). Their smaller size and reclusive habits make them distinct from their surface-dwelling cousins, and they are well-known for their craftsmanship and gem-cutting abilities.
Their darkvision gives them an advantage over illusions when saving throws are made. It is usually found in the Underdark that they exist. They are considered to be a good choice for a rogue or a wizard character.
Their passion for gems makes them expert miners and artisans. It is their nature to be perfectionists and to strive for excellence at all times. There is no doubt that Svirfneblin are extremely capable, industrious, diligent, determined, and productive creatures.
There is a great deal of suspicion and wariness between them and other races. A Svirfneblin can, however, be a loyal and faithful friend, one who provides a fresh perspective on life when someone goes out of their way to befriend them.
