The males of the Lorgreln tend to shave their heads bald,
while the females let their hair grow long. The males are
also unique among elvenkind in that some of them can
grow facial hair.
Millennia of exposure to cold-wrought iron has had a
profound effect on the innate spell abilities most drow
enjoy. The Lorgreln are simply not capable of them
any longer, though they do retain other benefits, such as
darkvision. Additionally, it seems the magic-bane qualities
of cold iron have made the iron drow even more resistant to
magic than their brethren.
The Lorgreln have an extremely orderly, martial society,
and are among the finest warriors of the Underdeep. They
no longer relate well with their drow cousins, but enjoy
strong relations with the duergar, the grey dwarves.
Combat
The iron drow are extremely militaristic and orderly. Every
male child receives training as a fighter, and the warrior
class simply does not exist in their society because it is
their society.
The iron drow focus much less on ambush and stealth than
do other drow, preferring to meet their enemies face to face
and relying on their superior strength, training and spell
resistance to defeat their foes. They commonly fight in
formation, several ranks deep behind a shield wall.
Lorgreln Traits (Ex): The Lorgreln have retained some of
the traits of the drow, but have lost others due to their long
use of cold-wrought iron.
� Males: +2 Strength, -2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +2
Charisma Darkvision out to 120 ft.
� Females: +2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma
� Spell resistance equal to 15 + class levels
� Immunity to sleep spells and effects, and a +2 racial
saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or
effects.
� +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search and Spot checks. A
Lorgreln who merely passes within five feet of a secret
or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice
it as if he were actively looking for it.
� Weapon Proficiency: A Lorgreln is automatically
proficient with the short sword, long spear and heavy
crossbow. This trait replaces the drow’s weapon
proficiencies.
� Magical Handicap: The long years of exposure to
cold-wrought iron has made learning and casting
magic difficult for the iron drow. They can take most
spellcasting classes, but always lag one level behind in
spellcasting (a 3 rd level iron drow wizard will have spell
abilities of a 2 nd level wizard). Lorgreln cannot become
sorcerers.
� Light Blindness: Abrupt exposure to bright light (such
as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds Lorgreln for one
round. On subsequent rounds, they are dazzled as long
as they remain in the affected area.
� Favoured Class: Fighter. This trait replaces the drow’s
favoured class.
� Level Adjustment: +2

The humanoid has scaly skin, mottled with dozens of
dark, muted colours. It stands about six feet tall, with
unnaturally long arms. Its hands and feet are large and
built for swimming, and are tipped with sharp claws. Its
two enormous eyes are milky white, save for a dot of a
black pupil in the centre. Its mouth is round, ringed with
sharp teeth. A scaly ridge runs from the top of its head to
the small of its back.
