| Subrace | Description | Traits |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Elf (Drow) | Descended from an exiled elven subrace called for practicing dark sorcery, drow have adapted to the depths of the Underdark. They are also called dark elves. Most drow serve the Spider Queen, Lolth, a chaotic evil deity who demands sacrifice and cruelty from her worshipers. | Superior Darkvision, Sunlight Sensitivity, Drow Magic, Drow Weapon Training |
| Forest Gnome | As a forest gnome, you have a natural knack for illusion and inherent quickness and stealth. Forest gnomes are rare and secretive. They gather in hidden communities in sylvan forests, using their gifts for illusion and stealth to conceal their presence. | Natural Illusionist, Speak with Small Beasts |
| High Elf | As a high elf, you have a keen mind and a mastery of at least the basics of magic. In many fantasy gaming worlds, there are two kinds of high elves. One type is haughty and reclusive, believing themselves to be superior to non-elves and even other elves. | Cantrip, Elf Weapon Training, Extra Language |
| Hill Dwarf | As a hill dwarf, you have keen senses, deep intuition, and remarkable resilience. The gold dwarves of Faerûn in their mighty southern kingdom are hill dwarves, as are the exiled Neidar and the debased Klar of Krynn in the Dragonlance setting. | Dwarven Toughness |
| Lightfoot Halfling | As a lightfoot halfling, you can easily hide from notice, even using other people as cover. You're inclined to be affable and get along well with others. Lightfoots are more prone to wanderlust than other halflings, and often end up in mixed company, though they maintain their own native traditions. | Naturally Stealthy |
| Mountain Dwarf | As a mountain dwarf, you're strong and hardy, accustomed to a difficult life in rugged terrain. You're probably on the tall side (for a dwarf), and tend toward lighter coloration. | Dwarven Armor Training |
| Rock Gnome | As a rock gnome, you have a natural inventiveness and hardiness beyond that of other gnomes. Most gnomes in the worlds of D&D are rock gnomes, including the tinker gnomes of the Dragonlance setting. | Artificer's Lore, Tinker |
| Stout Halfling | As a stout halfling, you're hardier than average and have some resistance to poison. Some say that stouts have dwarven blood. In the Forgotten Realms, these halflings are called stronghearts, and they're most common in the south. | Stout Resilience |
| Wood Elf | As a wood elf, you have keen senses and intuition, and your fleet feet carry you quickly and stealthily through your native forests. This category includes the wild elves of Greyhawk and the Kagonesti of Dragonlance, as well as the races called wood elves in Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms. | Elf Weapon Training, Fleet of Foot, Mask of the Wild |
