Gnome
A constant hum of busy activity pervades the warrens and neighborhoods where gnomes form their close-knit communities. Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding gears here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. Gnomes take delight in life, enjoying every moment of invention, exploration, investigation, creation, and play.
Gnome Traits: Your gnome character has certain characteristics in common with all other gnomes.
Ability Score Increase: Your Intelligence score increases by 2.
The altnernate rule for increasing ability scores found in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is allowed -- take any ability score increase you gain in your race or subrace and apply it to an ability score of your choice. If you gain more than one increase, you can’t apply those increases to the same ability score, and you can’t increase a score above 20.
Age: Deep gnomes are short-lived for gnomes. They mature at the same rate humans do and are considered full-grown adults by 25. They live 200 to 250 years, although hard toil and the dangers of the Underdark often claim them before their time.
Size: Gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 40 pounds. Your size is Small.
Speed: Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Darkvision: Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Gnome Cunning: You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic.
Languages: Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.
Typical Gnome Languages: Common and Gnomish.
The following sub-races of Gnomes exist in Chronala

Gnomes were originally presented as a playable race inPlayer's Handbook, Eberron: Rising from the Last War, and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes with some sub-races being revised in Monsters of the Multiverse*.
*Monsters of the Multiverse (released 16 May 2022) replaces and updates the information in both Volo's Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes and also includes Playable Races from some other sources as well.
