The Tome Of Drow Lore.pdf - RoseRed

182
Normal: Normally drow have spell resistance of 11 +
character level.
Special: This feat may be taken multiple times, each
time increasing your base spell resistance by two points.
Lorgreln may take this feat as well.
Fearsome Reputation (Drow)
Everyone knows the drow are pure evil, with the ability
to curdle the blood in your veins or stop your heart with
one glance from their burning red eyes. This reputation
has stood the drow in good stead, and allows you to cow
others who might actually be in a stronger position than
they believe.
Prerequisite: Intimidate 3 ranks
Benefit: When dealing with any non-drow, you gain a +4
circumstance bonus to all Intimidation skill checks. This
bonus increases to +6 when dealing with anyone whose
culture has been brutalised by the drow in the past, but
is reduced to +2 when dealing with other denizens of the
Underdeep.
Hold the Charge (Metamagic)
You can cast a spell in advance and hold it in reserve to
release later.
Benefit: With Hold the Charge, you can cast a spell but
hold the power in reserve to release later as a free action.
Holding a spell back, once cast, is a difficult and exhausting
ordeal, and you can only restrain the spell’s power for
a number of rounds equal to twice your Constitution
modifier. You may cast other spells during this time, but
doing so incurs a Concentration skill check
(DC 10 + the combined levels of both spells).
Failure results in the immediate loss of both
spells. As releasing a held spell counts as a
free action, it is possible to release the spell
then use your standard action to cast another,
effectively granting you two spell attacks in a
single round. A spell cast with Hold the Charge
uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the
actual level of the spell.
Improved Blindsight
(Pol’Tah)
Your blindsight has a significantly extended
range, allowing you to operate even more
effectively in areas where sight is impossible.
Prerequisite: You must have blindsight as a
racial ability.
Benefit: The range of your blindsight is
doubled to 60 feet.
Normal: Pol’Tah normally have blindsight only to 30
feet.
Improved Tremorsense (Pol’Tah)
Your tremorsense has a significantly extended range,
allowing you to operate even more effectively in areas
where sight is impossible.
Prerequisite: You must have tremorsense as a racial
ability.
Benefit: The range of your tremorsense is doubled to 240
feet.
Normal: Pol’Tah normally have tremorsense only to 120
feet.
Light Tolerance (Drow)
Through extensive and painful practice, you have fortified
yourself against the worst effects sudden exposure to bright
light (as by a daylight spell) or sunlight visits upon other
drow. You still suffer from such exposure, and find it
terribly uncomfortable, but it does not debilitate you as it
does other drow.
Prerequisite: Must be drow, but cannot be Pol’Tah
Benefit: When exposed to bright light, as by sunlight or a
daylight spell, you are dazzled but not blinded.
Normal: Normally, when a drow is exposed to bright light,
he is blinded for one round and dazzled afterward, for as
long as he remains in the area of the bright light.
Politically Active (Drow)
