Deep Gnome - Also known as svirfneblin, are a breed of gnome that
                          has grown to shun the surface world and has adapted to a subterranean
                          lifestyle. They are short in stature, yet more muscular than humans, have
                          slightly better reflexes than humans, and, like their surface- dwelling
                          cousins, tend to be a little wiser.
                               Deep gnomes tend to be a little hardier than some races, and make
                          slightly above average spellcasters as well. Deep gnomes also tend to be
                          resistant to magic effects.
                               Deep gnomes live underground, and have developed the ability to see
                          in complete darkness (INFRAVISION). They can all move silently or
                          SNEAK up on their opponents as well as HIDE from them. Deep
                          Gnomes are subterranean dwellers, and cannot function very well in direct
                          sunlight. When sunlight hits their skin they lose the ability to heal both
                          physical health and magical energy, and experience excruciating pain as
                          well (NOSUN).
