03-22-08, 01:03 PM Hi Guys,

I am starting in a Drow campaign soon, but decided to be alittle different from the group, and choose a half-drow character. I created this 'race' from a combination from many sources, and will present this to the DM next week. My character is of DeepWyrm blood, but I noted what could be substitued to have a normal Dambrathan Half-drow.
FYI that I reject the half-drow character from Drow of the Underdark, which I find unimaginative and overly weak. Perhaps it is a good archetype for surface dwellers, but not for a child of the underdark.
-There is no Level adjustment for the character (missing alot of attributes and strength of a full-drow, but having most of their weaknesses.)

-FYI this is specifically for half-drow from Dambrath. Which is in the underdark (next to a strong drow-city), and noted for the ruler classes to be mostly drow/ half-drow.

Please provide any feedback on this. Thanks!
