Looking through the the new Drow of the Underdark book I found a bunch of nifty stuff. Liking all the new info and especially the monsters. I really like the sound of the Vril. But I am sad as there is no statistics block for them and no description of their stoneshift and shriek abilities or the vulnerabilities. Any help getting the info would be nice. Looking forward to making some NPCs.

DotU is not a FR book - You might have better luck with answers in the General Forums.

I see no mention of a "Vril" in the ToC, so can't comment on them...pg # or something would be of some small usefulness.

I think they put the stat block in the errata which is up on the D&D Main site :-)

Yup, while not Relams centric I'd say its a worthy addition to general drow lore and can add some stuff to help flesh out the realmsian drow

Would like to echo the Straploknight. You have to be careful with regard to the first chapter though. It is very (as in: VERY) Greyhawk-centric a look at the drow.

damn, sucks when such a great sci-fi (from 1870) concept is taken in as Vril, and turned into something entirely non-related to its original meaning...


But then to really go ahead and introducing the coming race, the Vril-ya... now, that would throw the entire world upside down.


But go ahead and read bulver-lyttons book. Especially the introduction may be really revolutionising... how noone with money had any chance in american politics in 1870... !!!!

Always the possibility that the desgner has never heard of the Vril-ya, let alone 19th century sci-fi. These sorts of things happen with some amount of regularity.

Here is the Drow of the Underdark Errata (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20070504a) detailing the vril. :)
