Drow

Drow speak, read, and write Elven, a beautiful language they've corrupted with their own vile idioms and inflections.

Many drow also understand one or more local languages. Particularly intelligent drow also speak, read, and write any of the following Shadow languages: Abyssal, Aquan, Draconic, Gnome, Goblin, and Undertongue.

Species Traits

Drow have the following traits:

Darkvision (Ex): Drow can see in the dark up to 120 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and drow can function with no light at all.

Light Blindness (Ex): Abrupt exposure to bright light (such as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds a drow for 1 round. In addition, drow take a -1 circumstance penalty on all attack rolls, saves, and checks while operating in bright light.

Spell Immunities: Drow are immune to sleep spells and effects, and they gain a +2 species bonus on saves against Enchantment spells or effects. They also gain a +2 species bonus on Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities.

Spell Resistance (Ex): A drow gains Spell Resistance equal to 11 + her character level (if any).

Skill Bonuses: Drow gain a +2 species bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. A drow who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check (as a free action) to notice it as if she were actively looking for the door.

Bonus Feat: Drow receive Archaic Weapons Proficiency as a bonus feat.
