Message: <blockquote data-quote="ColinChapman" data-source="post: 6449819" data-attributes="member: 6779742">My take on the Svirfneblin, based directly on their MM entry:New Gnomish SubraceGnome, Deep (Svirfneblin)The standard Gnome Traits of Ability Score Increase, Age, Alignment, and Gnome Cunning are unchanged. The following are the subrace details and modified standard Gnome traits.Ability Score Increases: Your Strength score increases by 1.Size: Despite averaging only 3 feet in height, svirfneblin weigh 100 to 120 pounds. Your size is Small.Speed: Svirfneblin are stockier and much heavier than other gnomes and so are slower. Your base walking speed is 20 feet.Languages: You can speak, read, and write Gnomish, Terran and Undercommon.Stone Camouflage: You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in rocky terrain.Superior Darkvision: Your darkvision has a radius of 120 feet.Sunlight Sensitivity: You have disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.Svirfneblin Magic: When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the disguise self spell once per day. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the blindness/deafness and blur spells each once per day. When you reach 7th level, you can also cast the nondetection spell at will, but only on yourself. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells. Astute readers will note that I gave the deep gnome the same sunlight sensitivity flaw as the drow, despite the entry in the MM not having it. This is to balance the subrace and can be explained as continued exposure over time actually causing more problems than the brief exposure most deep gnomes will encounter.</blockquote>
