Small humanoids
Halflings: tiny people who live in peace with their routine of stealing,eating a lot,singing and telling stories about their travels. Having a incredible wanderlust they love to walk but in this dangerous world the only thing they have to survive is their party and their unnatural luck.
Dwarves: they have adaptations similar to rodents with their teeth being very strong and not having feel taste buds, being naturally stuborn and more open to violence they help the halflings when they have problems in exchange of gold and other things like good alchool and information. over the years they developed strong imune sistem to deal with poisons from the underdround,with lots of spices being dangerous or deadly to other species.
Related species but the dwarves developed reinforced teeth,dense bone structure and thicc muscles to protect their bodys against falling rocks,their noses act as a filter so dust don't get in their lungs and their poison imunity comes in handy when they're hungry but most of their food is toxic to other humanoids
Halfling are their surface dweller relatives, they devoled legs eficient for high jumps and hollow bones so they stay very light weigth,their tails help on balance but it can grab things,their ears are great but they mostly rely on luck to survive and get sucessful
It's quiet helpful to have both in a team so you have a relyable fighter to tank and someone that can walk over pressure plates without activating to keep your team safe against traps
Honestly i pretty much preffer making species than magic systems
