07-14-07, 12:08 PM hey guys, i know that there have been other posts on albinos, but now that "Drow Of The Underdark" has been published, i noticed a drow albino NPC and i was just wondering whether there are any official rules in the book about albinos (or in any other book)

so anyone who has access to this book, can you give me some info on this?

07-14-07, 12:37 PM umm... official info book? Try a medical journal man, there is obsolutely zero difference between and albino and regular person, of any race, bar a few small things (that may or may not be included)

1. They obviously have no skin or eye pigment colouration, this is the given

2. also, they sometimes have trouble in bright lights because of the lack of pigmentation in their eyes

3. also, they tend to get sunburn very easily because of the lack of pigmentation in their skin

...that's kinda it man... seriously... it's pretty much aesthetic... the stuff about the bright lights and sun burn isn't even really severe enough for any in game stating :P

07-14-07, 12:43 PM I see Albino Drow as elite assassins/spies. Why? They look like their surface (lighter skinned) cousins. I see them as another way for males to gain power in whats traditionally a female dominated society.
