Description: Drow are black skinned and pale haired. They are slight of build and have long delicate fingers and toes. Their features are somewhat sharp and ears are pointed and large, but this does not make them unhandsome. Their eyes are very large, being all iris and pupil. Male drow are of thin build, reaching an average height of 5 1/2’ tall, have dead black skin and dead white hair, and the irises of their eyes are orange to orange-yellow. Females are slender and shapely, averaging about 5 3/4’ tall, and have glossy black skin and shining silvery hair. The eyes of female Drow are amber, though a few are said to possess irises of lambent violet.
Requirements:
All Drow classes require a Minimum of Intelligence, wisdom and dexterity of 9.
