Can drow sleep?


Rules Questions


Now I think it was in 3.5 that instead of sleeping drows "meditated". Is this also true for pathfinder or do they need actual full sleep?

Pathfinder Drow and elves sleep normally.


In the Forgotten Realms setting, all elves, drow included, entered a state of reverie for around 4 hrs per night, instead of sleeping, if I recall correctly. In generic D&d, I think they just sleep half as long as humans and other races, but I can't find that rule in the d20srd so maybe I'm remembering something from a previous edition.

They meditated in the 3.5 D&D Players Handbook. The section that said so wasn't in the racial description but in the fluff text before the stats, which wasn't made Open Content so never appeared in the SRD.

No, but flesh warped creatures do.

That is why they put in the three laws.

"A fleshwarped may injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A fleshwarped must disobey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A fleshwarped must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Don't pull that junk with drow though, or you will be used as class material in the advance vivisection class."
