The Tome Of Drow Lore.pdf - RoseRed

Evasion (Ex): At 3 rd level, an Elven Infiltrator has mastered
the use of Evasion, avoiding even magical and unusual
attacks with his tremendous agility. If he makes a successful
Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals
half-damage on a successful save (such as a fireball spell),
he instead takes no damage from that attack, though a
failed save still results in full damage. Obviously, an Elven
Infiltrator who has somehow been rendered helpless cannot
use Evasion. If the Elven Infiltrator already has Evasion as
a class ability, he instead gains Improved Evasion.
Cultural Chameleon (Ex): The Elven Infiltrator has
studied the drow culture he intends to infiltrate intimately,
often knowing more about it than the average drow. This
tremendous familiarity grants the Elven Infiltrator a bonus
of +4 to any communication skills when interacting with a
member of the drow culture in which he specialises, and a
bonus of +2 when interacting with any other drow.
Slippery Mind (Ex): This ability represents the Elven
Infiltrator’s special ability to wriggle free from magical
effects that would otherwise control or compel him. If
an Elven Infiltrator with Slippery Mind is affected by an
enchantment spell or effect and fails his saving throw, he
may attempt it again one round later at the same DC. He
only gets one extra chance to succeed on his saving throw.
An Elven Infiltrator who already has Slippery Mind as a
class ability may instead choose another ability from the
list of rogue special abilities.
Scrying Block (Su): With this ability, the Elven Infiltrator
becomes invisible to all attempts at magical location. He
cannot be found or viewed through any scrying spell,
though the caster of the spell will recognise that his attempt
at scrying has somehow been blocked.
Unremarkable (Ex): By the time he reaches 5 th level, the
Elven Infiltrator meshes so well with his target society
of drow, he is almost impossible to find, able to blend in
and disappear in even a small group of drow. Anyone
attempting to pick the Elven Infiltrator out of a group of
drow as small as five suffers a –10 penalty on his Spot
and Search skill checks, as his eyes simply drift past the
completely unremarkable figure of the Elven Infiltrator.
Sneak Attack +2d6 (Ex): At 6 th level, the sneak attack
ability of the Elven Infiltrator improves, granting him an
additional 2d6 points of damage on a successful sneak
attack. If the Elven Infiltrator already has sneak attack as a
class ability, the damage stacks.
Stunning Fist (Ex): An Elven Infiltrator often needs to
disable a potential foe silently and quickly. At 7 th level,
the Elven Infiltrator is able to use a Stunning Fist attack
on his enemies. This works exactly like the Stunning Fist
feat, though the Elven Infiltrator does not have to meet
the prerequisites for the ability. Additionally, the Elven
Infiltrator may use a blunt instrument (such as a dagger
pommel or even a rock) to deliver the Stunning Fist
attack.
Greater Sneak Attack (Ex): At 8 th level, the Elven
Infiltrator’s sneak attack damage becomes even more
dangerous against drow, as he has learned the perfect ways
to strike his foe to drop them quickly and quietly. Against a
drow, sneak attack damage dice are increased to d10’s. This
change works retroactively, so that an Elven Infiltrator with
sneak attack damage from another class will also have that
damage converted to a d10 roll. For example, if an Elven
Infiltrator (who was previously a rogue) had a sneak attack
of +5d6 damage, Greater Sneak Attack would convert it to
+5d10 against drow.
Total Recall (Ex): This ability works exactly like the feat
of the same name (see page 185). The Elven Infiltrator
does not need to meet the feat’s prerequisites to use this
ability.
Mind Blank (Sp): This final ability of the Elven Infiltrator
works exactly like the mind blank spell. This is a constant
effect which cannot be dispelled, though the Elven
Infiltrator may turn it off if he wishes.
Drow Feats
Struggling constantly for survival in the threatening
Underdeep, the drow have developed an assortment of
feats uniquely suited to their environment, fighting styles
and magical prowess. Some of these feats are specific to
certain Lost Tribes of the drow; others are more common
throughout the various cultures and societies of the drow.
A few of these abilities, at the discretion of the Games
Master, may be used as fighter feats or as general feats in
the campaign world.
Agile Climber (Drow)
You are adept at climbing the many sloping and vertical
surfaces of the Underdeep, and may do so with uncanny
speed and dexterity.
Prerequisite: Athletic, Climb 6 ranks
Benefit: When attempting to climb any surface with a
Climb skill check DC of 20 or less, you may climb the
surface at two-thirds your normal movement speed, and
retain half of your Dexterity modifier to your AC.
