The Tome Of Drow Lore.pdf - RoseRed

Close Combat (Drow)
The Underdeep is filled with cramped tunnels and narrow
crevices, and all too often these are the place where
combat occurs. Long practice has taught you to be able
to fight normally in small spaces that would otherwise be
too restrictive.
Prerequisites: Dodge
Benefit: When you are in combat in area that is too narrow
for you to move normally, but is still at least half as wide
as the space you require for normal movement (which is 5
ft. for medium humanoids), you may fight normally while
squeezing through the area. If the area is less than half as
wide as the space you require for normal movement, you
suffer all applicable penalties to combat while squeezing
through the space (see The Player’s Handbook, Chapter
8, Combat, Terrain and Obstacles).
Normal: When moving through a space that is at least half
as wide as the space you require for normal movement,
you suffer a –4 penalty to attack rolls and AC.
Craft Lifebinding Item (Item
Creation)
By sacrificing sentient creatures, you may use their
experience points to offset the experience point cost of
creating magic items.
Prerequisite: You must have the base item creation feat
for the kind of item you are trying to create through
lifebinding.
Benefit: By using lifebinding to create a magic item,
you are able to use the experience points of your sacrifice
to partially obviate your own cost in experience points.
Lifebinding is described in detail on page 188.
Drawn Strike (Drow)
You have mastered the art of attacking as you draw your
sword from its sheath, inflicting additional damage to your
enemy with the powerful and unexpected blow.
Prerequisite: Quick Draw, Weapon Focus, base attack
bonus +5, must be a member of House Draz’Kuri
Benefit: If your opponent is flat-footed and you have not
yet drawn your weapon, you may attempt a Drawn Strike
against him as a standard melee attack. By drawing and
attacking in a single, fluid motion, you may strike your
enemy with a devastatingly powerful blow. If your attack
roll against your foe is successful, you may double your
weapon’s base damage die to calculate damage from
the attack. For example, a drow striking his foe with a
longsword would roll 2d8 for damage, rather than 1d8. A
successful attack using this feat only doubles the weapon’s
base damage; other modifiers to damage such as Strength
modifiers, magical enhancements and other feats such as
Weapon Specialisation are not doubled. In the event of a
critical hit, Drawn Strike still only allows one additional
die of damage.
Normal: You must draw your weapon as either a move
action or (with Quick Draw) as a free action. Regardless,
you cannot strike in the same motion as drawing the
weapon.
Special: Though this feat is traditionally only taught among
the warriors of House Draz’Kuri, it is possible, with the
permission of the Games Master, for a drow from another
House to learn it.
Enhanced Spell Resistance (Drow)
You are able to shrug off the effects of incoming spells even
more effectively than other drow.
Prerequisite: Must have spell resistance as an innate
ability.
Benefit: Choosing this feat increases your spell resistance
by two points. In the case of a normal drow, this equates to
spell resistance of 13 + character level.
