Fey Ancestry. The drow has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put the drow to sleep.
Innate Spellcasting. The drow’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 11). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: dancing lights
1/day each: darkness, faerie fire
Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the drow has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.
Hand Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also unconscious while poisoned in this way. The target wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
Love this race
Why doesn't the Drow show up on the race list when making a character?
You have to buy the players handbook or the drow race directly. If you buy the drow race then the players handbook will be discounted the price for the race pack.
as well as the related Bundles
Same reason you can't play as goblin because there classified as monsters
Edit: apparently you can but I meant for a free subscription um so sorry
Ive made a goblin character...theyre kinda boss
I'm so glad for there's a pronunciation for this because I've been saying it wrong for the past month...
No, you weren't. originally everyone pronounced it DRO until some guy in dragon took it upon himself to correct everyone. They were based on a monster related to trolls that originally was pronounced Tro.
I prefer the old school pronunciation. Drow as in crow, not drow as cow. I never not correct people on it
Drow Warrior.
AC: 15 (Leather, Shield)
HP: 22 (5d8)
CR: 1/2 (100 XP)
Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage, plus 3 (1d6) poison damage.
I got a little carried away, really I just wanted to show an drow elite warrior-like gear set, that keeps the same AC.
(I like the heraldry of shields, but didn’t want to have to recalculate CR.)
I’ve always heard it in my head as drōw (like crow, throw, etc). We didn’t have phonetic info in 1980. Anybody know how Gygax said it?
Good question!
some of the race options aren't on the website, you have to get the player's handbook
it's an elf variant
Drow rhymes with bow, row, and sow. If you think that means I agree or disagree with you, think harder.
I’ll usually just say “dark elf”, both to avoid the argument and because it sounds cool
No longer Evil Right?
Nope still neutral evil
Still neutral evil so far as I know. Why would it change?
