[3.5][Bloodline] Drow Bloodline

[The Bushranger]

Descendants of the Drow
"The blood of the Underdark flows through my veins..."

The Drow, as a rule, don't play well with others. That's not to say, however, that the dreaded dark elves don't occasionally spread their genetic material outside of their own race. And sometimes, that genetic legacy reappears in future generations, although sometimes it can be seen as more curse than blessing, once recognised for what it is, given the reputation of the followers of Lloth...

This is a revised and tweaked version of the Drow bloodline I created about three years ago. Some commentary caused me to make some changes, along with my now-further knowledge of the subject.

Comments, suggestions, PEACHes and such are welcome!

A CHALLENGER APPEARS!


Looks quite good. Couple of nitpicks:

• Should be "Spell Resistance 5", not "Spell Resistance/5"
• SR 5 doesn't do much, especially at that high of a level. May I suggest 11+level? Short of that you really aren't protecting against squat.
• It's worth mentioning the CL and saves for the SLAs.
• I think Craft (Alchemy) covers poison making

And of course a picture never hurts...

Picture and change to the poison crafting coming very shortly!

Full-blooded drow get the 11+class levels SR. 5+ class levels might work though?

Well, it is the 20th level ability... It's up to you, but I'd go for the 11+. Between a flat 5 and 5+, certainly the 5+.

Nice work, by the way. Glad to see a fellow bloodliner.

Done! Also pic and header added and a bit of an intro blurb.

And thanks! Bloodlines are quite fun.

Well that's one fewer remake for me to take care of. After some more Draconic Lineages, I think I'm doing the Vampire bloodline next.
