06-12-07, 03:14 PM This is another race that i have made for my campaign setting, Sharrkain.
I like the Drow, but as is, they SUCK... Here is my take on this subterranean race
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/Meow_hez/Darklineelf.jpg

Delithriin, Dark Elves.

*+2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int, +2 Cha. Delithriin are Naturally personable, intelligent, and quick, but are frail.

*Darkvision 120', Light Blindness: When exposed to bright light like the sun, they are blinded for one full round, and are dazzled(take a -1 on attack, search, and spot rolls) for as long as they are in the light. Being subterranean people, the Delithriin can see perfectly in the dark tunnels of their underground kingdom. But being an underground race, they are extremely sensitive to light.

*Immune to sleep and have a +2 to will vs enchantment spells or effects and have a +2 to all saves vs. magic and like effects. The Delithriin have a natural resistance to magical attacks. (This replaces the Spell Resistance that regular dark elves have)

*+2 to Listen, Search, and Spot checks. The Delithriin are very aware of their surroundings. Any Delithriin that passes within 5' of a secret door are entitled a search check as if looking for it.

*2 to Move Silent, and Slight of hand checks.

*Automatic proficiency with Longsword, Spiked Chain, Light crossbow and Hand Crossbow.

* 1/day Spell-like abilities(Darkness, Detect Magic) as caster level equal to HD.

Level Adjustment: +1
Favored Class: Sorcerer

Delithriin have the same looks of other elves, small bodies, pointed ears what have you, but the most distinguishing feature of these elves is their skin, it is a smoky gray ash color, the color varies from elf to elf, some are darker, some are lighter, but all have the trademark gray skin and red eyes, that to can vary form bright crimson to dark maroon... Hair color is very monotone, mostly gray, black and white, some do have faded light color in their hair, such as faint blond...

What do you guys think of these dudes...

06-12-07, 04:51 PM I would give them just one other minor ability, I think that it seems just a tad weak for +1, but over +0. Maybe add another spell-like ability? Know Direction for all of those underground tunnels and such?

Edit: Or maybe +1 CL for spells with darkness or evil descriptor?

06-12-07, 04:57 PM Is their such thing as superior dark vision???? hahaha, or 240' darkvision?

06-12-07, 05:08 PM Not that I know of, but you might be able to get away with a See in Darkness ability so it can see in magical darkness.

06-12-07, 05:19 PM I dont think so.... but that would be sweet... i was thinking of giving +2 on move silent and hide, and that goes up to +4 when underground or in similar terrain...

06-12-07, 06:14 PM Just cut normal drow's SR and they're LA +1. Bingo!

I actually gave them a bonus to saves vs. magic instead... and i wanna do a unique type of drow...

anyway... i was thinking about giving them the use poison ability.... that seem like a good finisher???

06-12-07, 06:52 PM I added +2 to Move Silent, and Slight of hand checks, and gave a more vivid physical description of them...

Any comments?

06-13-07, 12:30 AM A unique drow? How bout you make them ugly? If Correllon hates Drow so much why did he let them stay sexy? (and be even sexier then normal elves for that matter?)

06-13-07, 12:32 AM hahaha.... ohh my, Constructive comments please.

06-14-07, 12:15 AM A bonus on Hide rather Slight of hand, imo

06-14-07, 03:47 AM i was thinking that, but it seems expected to have those two together, and i like the idea of having sticky fingered races

06-14-07, 04:15 AM Can you give us a bit more on the culture, or are they the same drow with different mechanics?

06-14-07, 09:08 AM If you want a unique Drow idea, why not try the same tract taken by teh Dark Ones. That is, no Darkvision but Blindsight instead. This is both unique for Drow like races and probably worth that +1 LA.
