I'm wanting to play a Deep Gnome PC, now on the surface.

I havn't had much interaction with Deep Gnomes in campaigns, and was wondering if you guys ( and gals ) could suggest a few different backgrounds and reasons for such a race to be on the surface. Also, could you fill me in on what the persona and outlook of such a race would be when on the surface?

I'm wanting to play him as a rogue by the way.

Maybe he goes up to see the world above with a young curious mind. Or maybe he was forced out of the underground home of his when out of nowhere a small group of illithids attacked and now he harbors a hatred for the vile mind beasts, along with a disposition for killing (sneak attack) to right the wrongs against made against him by the cosmos (Neutral, no patron).

08-16-04, 02:27 AM So Deep Gnomes worship no diety? is that what you mean by no patron? Do they have a general knowledge of the gods?

Also Svirfneblin have Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Goblin, Orc, Terran.

Can someone fil me in on how a Deep Gnome character would know Elven and Goblin etc?
