[They] are a particularly shy race. Were they more intrepid sorts, they'd make some of the finest thieves in all Faerûn. One is unlikely to encounter a forest gnome outside of larger cities—in fact, we've our very own exclave here in Waterdeep. However ironic, one is least likely to meet a forest gnome in the... well, forest.Throughout the dense woodlands of Faerûn lie whole communities of these elusive hunter-gatherers, seldom seen by the likes of men, elves, or other gnomes for that matter.

As a forest gnome who grew up among your people in a dense woodland thicket, you are particularly adept at hiding in the forest. While attempting to hide in dense forest, you receive advantage on all stealth checks, and any creature making an opposed perception check against you receives disadvantage on that roll.
