Drow
have one major weakness (light). If a Drow is caught within a radius of light
or a continual light spell they are 90% likely to be seen. They suffer the
loss of 2 points from their DEX scores and attack at a -2 penalty. In such
a circumstance where a creature or being is caught in a spell by a Drow within
the light they receive a plus 2 bonus to their saving throws. If ever a Drow
seeks the outerworld life (character's) and finds themselves in daylight combat
the DM should enforce an additional penalty of -1 to attack rolls and a plus
1 bonus to any creatures making a saving throws vs Drow magic.

The
Drow are a dark race of Elfkind torn from the light of the surface. These feared
Elves were long ago forced into exile (see Vastonia's Elven Chronology for details
on exile). They now inhabit the darkest reaches of the underworld, making caverns
and concealed passages as their home. Drow are very aware and inquisitive creatures
simply because of their cruel and unforgiving society. Most Drow have high intellectual
aptitude thus giving them a mental advantage over other creatures. Drow also
have greater dexterity than most other creatures and use this to overcome their
lack of endurance during combat situations. The Drow no longer desire life in
the outerworld, being content with the gloomy darkness of their home realm.
