� Natural attacks by a member of the Kanahraun ruling<br />

class are treated as magical weapons for the purposes of<br />

overcoming damage reduction. Those of the Kanahraun<br />

ruling class born without fangs usually file their teeth<br />

into an acceptable substitute.<br />

� Spell resistance equal to 11 + class levels.<br />

� Spell-Like Abilities: Kanahraun can use the following<br />

spell-like abilities once per day: dancing lights, faerie<br />

fire. Ruling class Kanahraun may also cast darkness<br />

three times per day. Caster level equals the Kanahraun’s<br />

class levels.<br />

� Immunity to sleep spells and effects, and a +2 racial<br />

saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or<br />

effects.<br />

� +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search and Spot checks.<br />

A Kanahraun who merely passes within five feet of a<br />

secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to<br />

notice it as if he were actively looking for it.<br />

� Weapon Proficiency: A Kanahraun is automatically<br />

proficient with the short bow, the kukri, the scimitar<br />

and the falchion. This trait replaces the drow’s weapon<br />

proficiencies.<br />

� Light Blindness: Abrupt exposure to bright light (such<br />

as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds Kanahraun for<br />

one round. On subsequent rounds, they are dazzled as<br />

long as they remain in the affected area.<br />

� Favoured Class: Cleric or wizard. This trait replaces<br />

the drow’s favoured class.<br />

� Level Adjustment: +4<br />

This humanoid is larger and stronger than other drow, with<br />

eyes of cold grey rather than burning red. <strong>The</strong> males often<br />

have no hair and are stronger than the females, who in turn<br />

are more resilient than the males.<br />

Lorgreln, also known as iron drow, were separated from<br />

the rest of the drow during the Sundering and trapped in<br />

an area of the Underdeep where air itself was a precious<br />

resource. Unable to use a furnace to forge metal, the drow<br />

were forced to use cold-wrought iron as their sole means<br />

of defence, a substance which is inimical to the fey nature<br />

of elves.<br />

<strong>The</strong> constant exposure to cold-wrought iron has changed<br />

the Lorgreln physically and mentally. <strong>The</strong>y are more<br />

dimorphic than other drow, with the males of the iron drow<br />

significantly larger and stronger than the females, at least<br />

by comparison to other drow races.<br />

As a race, the Lorgreln are larger and stronger than any<br />

of their drow cousins, almost as tall as a human and more<br />

broadly built than an elf. <strong>The</strong> skin of the Lorgreln is still jet<br />

black like that of other drow, but the iron that is now such a<br />

part of them has passed its cold grey colour on to the eyes<br />

of the drow.<br />
