Vile Infestation (Lesser)
Conjuration (Summoning)
Level: Clr 5
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One corporeal creature
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: Fortitude half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Lesser vile infestation infects the subject with a swarm of
tiny vermin (in the case of priestesses of the Dark Mother,
the infestation is of spiders, other deities of the drow have
different vermin). The vermin manifest inside the target’s
body, just below the skin and immediately begin eating their
way out. The spell inflicts 1d4 points of damage per level
of the caster (maximum 10d4), and living creatures with
a circulatory system take an additional point of damage
per d4 in blood loss as the vermin burst through their skin.
Creatures without a circulatory system, such as undead or
plant-based creatures do not take this additional damage.
Damage reduction is ineffective against the vermin created
by lesser vile infestation.
Viper Bite
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting viper bite causes two of the caster’s teeth to grow
into fangs, which he can use to deliver a deadly poisonous
bite. One of the caster’s normal unarmed attacks each
round becomes a bite attack, dealing a base d4 damage. The
caster’s fangs inject venom into the foe on any successful
bite attack. This venom is enhanced by the power of the
spell and may be resisted by successful Fortitude saves (DC
11 + caster level) for both initial and secondary damage
(initial and secondary damage are both 1d6 Constitution).
Material Component: A drop of poison from any venomous
snake.

Specific Armour
Trollskin armour
This armour is made from the skin of a troll. The magic
expended in its creation enables the armour to retain a portion
of its regenerative capabilities and pass that ability on to its
wearer. Though not as impressive as the regeneration of a
living troll, this ability alone makes trollskin armour highly
valued among the drow. Trollskin armour protects and
encumbers exactly like studded leather +1 and it imbues its
wearer with Regeneration 1, taking normal damage from
fire and acid like a troll.

Boneforged armour
Boneforged armour derives its primary magical abilities
from the undead creature whose bones were used to create
the armour. Any powers of the armour which depend
upon the abilities of the undead are set at the time of the
armour’s creation, and may never be modified or added
to in any way. However, it is still possible to add other
armour enhancements (such as nimble) to the boneforged
armour after the time of its creation. Magical boneforged
armour must be enchanted to at least a +1 as part of the
creation process; otherwise the bones will not retain any of
the undead abilities. Further, the bones must be in large,
contiguous pieces for the boneforged item to retain undead
abilities, meaning that only armours such as the breastplate
and half-plate can be made from the undead bones. Note
that although armours such as half-plate and full plate
consist of multiple plates of bone, the suit of armour is
