Language
Half-drow speak the languages of their parent races and have
access to the bonus languages of both races (usually any).
Names
Despised from birth, half-drow are often not given names
but instead choose names for themselves. These usually
consist of words for powerful forces, attacks, or creatures
that the half-drow knows. Names like Slash, Venom’s Rage,
Dark River, Fire King, and Black Scorpion are typical, and
half-drow often use words from different languages in the
same name.
Adventures
Half-drow are adventurers by nature, always ready to move
on and face new dangers when their current situation
becomes too threatening. Half-drow instinctively distrust
any group of creatures that seems willing to have them, even
as they secretly long for acceptance.
Half-Drow Racial Traits
• Medium: As Medium creatures, half-drow have no
special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Half-drow base land speed is 30 feet.
• Immunity to sleep spells and effects.
• Resistant to Magic (Ex): Half-drow gain a +1 racial
bonus on Will saves against spells and spell-like
effects.
• Spell Resistance (Ex): A half-drow gains spell
resistance equal to 9 + her Hit Dice.
• Darkvision: Half-drow can see in the dark up to
60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it
is otherwise like normal sight, and half-drow can
function just fine with no light at all.
• +1 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
• Drow Blood: For all effects related to race, a halfdrow
is considered a drow.
• Automatic Languages: Common, Elven, and
Undercommon. Bonus Languages: Any (other than
secret languages, such as Druidic).
• Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, darkness,
and faerie fire. Caster level equals the half-drow’s class
levels. The save DC is Charisma-based.
• Favored Class: Any. When determining whether
a multiclass half-drow takes an experience point
penalty, her highest-level class does not count.
• Level Adjustment: +1. A half-drow has an effective
character level of 1 plus class levels, so that a 1stlevel
half-drow ranger would have an ECL of 2 (the
equivalent of a 2nd-level half-elf ranger). ECL is the
sum of the race’s level adjustment, racial Hit Dice, and
character levels.
