Half Drow

[The Forsaken]

Can we get a run down on the inside and outs of this race? Vulns? Resists? Any racial perks?

[Chesta6384]

They are immune to blackjack in and strangle

[The Forsaken]

Sounds legit.

Rolling stats for half-drow dark-knight.:
Max: Str: 19  Int: 20  Wis: 21  Dex: 23  Con: 19
Cur: Str: 14  Int: 14  Wis: 14  Dex: 14  Con: 14

 

I don't think they have any racial skill/spell.

Time to throw away 1 levels, 0 hours and 0 mastered skills and spells?

HALF-ELF:
19 21 20 22 18

 

They look a lot better than Half-Elves. Very comparable to Avians minus the vuln auto-fly bash resist and one less point of INT.

 

Perhaps now is the time to slightly improve Half-Elves.

They are worse than humans. If you chose a human wizard, you get 21 INT and better STR and +2 CON for not having +2 DEX.

 

They should have 23 Int. Or at least 19 con.

[The Forsaken]

They do have 19 con...

 

Edit: Sorry, misread you there. You were talking about half-elves having 19 con, not half drow. Apologies.

I would venture to say they are resistant to charm.

@Mya - Bumbing dex up on a race(half-elf) that are amazing monks? Not a fan. Int or Con I would go for.

[Chesta6384]

Half drows can burrow.

[Dale]

Damn, why can't they be monks?

Will all races that can choose cleric and have a single alignment (such as Drow and Storm Giant) be able to do this in the future, too?

Or is this an anomaly?

[Dale]

Be shamans?

[Magick]

Be shamans?

 

 

 

Rolling the shamans directly rather than rolling a cleric and converting to healer/shaman.

[Dale]

That can't be intended, unless it's a racial trait, lol.

[Erelei]

Not intended, but not against it being a racial trait either.

[Hegemony]

What are Shamans?

[mya]

They might make pretty darn good shamans. If they have no vuln, and you don't mind giving up drow auto-sneak.

 

Someone bard Analise a Half.drow to check their the charm resist.

 

I did an evil chaotic DK, couldn't worship Lloth. Is somjething wrong»?

[Hegemony]

No Mya, something is very, very right. 

 

Down with the Matrons, and Down with Lloth.

[Serinkane]

So what are there racials?

[Magick]

This is half the fun of a new race.  Experimentation.

[Mudder]

I think rolling Shaman directly is a pretty cool and overall harmless trait.

[Volgathras]

Half-drow lore is explicitly AGAINST Lloth. Will put together a helpfile at some point.

[Mmm Coffee]

Wouldn't it make more sense to have 21 INT and 20 WIS?  Neither human or drow have 21 Wis.

[Erelei]

Not really. I believe the combination of races and being able to survive the length of time they have make them quite wise, considering the tradition of slaughtering young half drow.

[Trick]

Or intelligent enough to survive.. 

[Volgathras]

Drop a Ph.D in Sudan and tell him to make his way home. See how that works out. Survival is about training or wits, not intelligence.

[Trick]

What's his Ph.D in? Is it in survival? Because if it is...
