Sep 27, 2008 11:03:45 I have got the FRPG book. I have looked through the regions with their region benefit until I have thinking about it don´t exist any part of Underdark.

So... a drow player who want to come from Underdark is not possibly because it is lacking Underdark region benefit.

Underdark regional benefits
You add Deep Speech as an additional language, you add Dungeoneering and Perception to your skills lists, and you gain a +1 bonus to Dungeoneering and Perception checks.

Menzoberranzan regional benefits
You add Deep Speech as an additional language, you add Religion and Streetwise to your skills lists, and you gain +1 bonus to Religion and Streetwise checks.

Oct 01, 2008 3:31:40 If you have time and money on your hand, get yourself some good FR books about the drow, like Underdark. The "old" FRCS (3E) as well as the previous Players' Guide to Faerûn (3,5e) also have feats for drow characters, if not many. Likewise, Races of Faerûn. That is all mostly for background though, as 4E has ripped the names of feats and abilities out of those older books and replaced them with (similar or not so similar) 4Eish stuff.

There is also an article on the main site Children of Darkness (of Dragon 367 or so) which gives more info on the 4E drow. Apart from this, nothing has come out of the 4E forge to date.

Lesson 1: The plural of drow is drow, e.g. one drow, hundred drow.

Oct 01, 2008 3:51:41 I was a tad disappointed when Menzo and the Underdark weren't included with regional benefits. And.. at least for now... homebrew isn't available to me since I'm playing in LFR.

So.. as a drow rogue... I chose Wheyloon.. and pretty happy with the story.
