[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 5430241, member: 5868"] The most recent Dragon history update reminded me of a monster/NPC I used to enjoy using back in the 1E days as a friend of lost adventurers deep in the underdark: the smurf-nibblin / svirfneblin / deep gnome. But frankly I can't recall -- have they been ported through the years? I think I remember them vaguely in 3E, but don't remember seeing them at all in 4E (though I haven't picked up MM3). Anyone have a feel for how the ecology of the deep gnome has shifted through the editions? The drow have evolved some; the duergar have seemed to remain relatively static, and the gnomes ...? (Ironic aside ... I find regular gnomes as a PC race to be obnoxious and superfluous, especially since the 3E halflings became everything gnomes were, but never had the same feeling about their Underdark cousins as NPCs, not sure why). Edit: Must I choose a prefix? There's no "Monsters" category, no "D&D History" category, nor a "D&D General" category! Arrrghhh ... [/QUOTE]
