Description: Though their lives span several human generations, elves appear at first glance to be
frail when compared to man. However, elves have a number of special talents that more than make up for their slightly weaker
constitutions. They are somewhat taller than men. Male elves usually weigh between 150 and 200 pounds, and females weigh between
115 and 140 pounds. The features of an elf are delicate and finely chiseled. Most elves have very pale complexions, which
is odd because they spend a great deal of time outdoors. They tend to be slim, almost fragile. Though they are not as sturdy
as humans, elves are much more agile.
Elven clothing tends to be darker than common elves. They usually wear black, brown, grey, or some other dark clothing.
They also tend to wear lite cloaks so they won't be weighed down.
Like elves, Drows have learned that it is important to understand the creatures, both good and evil, that share their
forest home. Because of this, many speak the tongues of goblins, orcs, hobgoblins, gnolls, gnomes, and halflings, in addition
to common and their own highly-developed language. They will always show an interest in anything that will allow them to communicate
with, and learn from, their neighbors.
Combat: A Drow fighter will usually battle with a style rapid and strong. Either with bow or sword
they are never to be underestimated. Drows are cautious fighters and always use their strengths to advantage if possible.
One of their greatest strengths is the ability to pass through natural surroundings, woods, or forests, silently and almost
invisibly. By moving quietly and blending into vegetation for cover, Drows will often surprise a person or party. As long
as they are not attacking, the Drows hiding in the forest can only be spotted by someone or something with the ability
to see invisible objects. The military value of this skill is immense, and Drow armies will always send scouts to spy
on the enemy, since such spies are rarely caught-or even seen.
Drows posses an extremely strong will, such strong wills, in fact, that they have an extreme resistance to all charm
and sleep spells.
Most Drow live in the wild, so weapons are used for everything from dealing with the hostile creatures around their
camps, to such mundane tasks as hunting for dinner. The Drows' rigorous training with bows and swords, in addition to their
great dexterity, gives them a supreme skill fighting with a short or long sword, or when using a bow of any kind, other than
a crossbow. Drows are especially proficient in the use of the bow. Their archers are extremely mobile, and therefore
dangerous.
Because of limitations of horses in forest combat, elves do not usually ride. Drow prefer to fight as foot soldiers
and are generally armed as such. Most Drow wear scale, ring, or chain mail. Drow have natural advantages when they
use bows and swords and their bands carry a variety of weapons.
Drow women are the equal of their male counterparts in all aspects of warfare. In fact, some bands of Drow
will contain units of female fighters. This occurs rarely (5% chance), and only 10-30 Drow maidens will be encountered
in such a unit. However, the legends of the destruction wrought by these Drow women are rampant among the enemies of
the elves. For Armour they prefer the following types. Shield, helm, bracers, boots, Usually leather, sometimes ringmail or
chainmail.
Habitat/Society: Drow value their individual freedom highly and their social structure is based
on independent bands. These small groups, usually consisting of no more than 100, recognize the authority of a royal overlord,
who in turn owes allegiance to a king or queen. However, the laws and restraints set upon Drow society are very few compared
to human society and practically negligible when compared to dwarven society.
Drow camps are always well-hidden and protected. In addition to the large number of observation posts and personnel
traps set around a camp. Though they are immune to a few specific spells, Drow are captivated by dark magic.
