Any one know the racial stats for a half drow?...I have been trying to find out but have yet to locate the book that has it. If someone could let me know that would be great!

It´s listed in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book, in Races of Faerun, and it has been posted on the WoTC´s website when they discussed transition *classes.*

Now my only question is do they suffer the slow leveling of regular drow. does seem like they should but I wouldn't be suprised. Thanks bakka

In both the FR Campaign Setting book and Races of Faerun, half-drows do not suffer level adjustments. In the *racial* transition articles on the WoTC´s website, half-drow spend 2 levels going from half-drow to full drow (which makes sense since the Level Adjustment of a normal drow is +2). Otherwise, a normal half-drow is just like a normal half-elf with one (I think) different racial adjustment. Of course, you can always modify half-drow to reflect more of the drow persona if you wish, for your own campaign. Just imagine a world where the *half-breeds* are in control because their full-blooded ancestors have left the homeworld for new territory to conquer.

Actually, now that I think about that, it would make for a pretty cool sci-fi D&D theme-based campaign. *sigh* So many ideas that I want to try out, so little time to play them out.

Cool Idea, I actually needed so that I could make a half-drow based off the umbragen from the most recent issue of dragon. I am glad to hear they don't suffer that level adjustment it makes things so much easier. And only having to devote 2 levels to getting those extra abilities versus waiting twice as long to go level up one level makes things a lot easier.

You might want to check out the article, http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040319a, to make sure you understand what I meant by *spending* two levels to go from half-drow to full drow.

Oh I already read it. I knew what you meant when I read it. I was just commenting that at least the person doesn't level up slower as the normal drow do. unless that not the case?


half-drow have the same stats for half-elf except half-drow have darkvision.


Another option is Green Ronin's Plot and Poison. A book all about drow, which includes a half drow template. Personaly I prefer this out look to half breeds, as a lot of the half breed characters I would like to make are not half human.
