Half-Drow as in half Human half Drow or half Elf half Drow?
I would be Ok with half human/drow using the normal half elf stats or half drow/elf using the parent elf as stats.
Basically, it is for flavor, unless we get an official ruling allowing them (and Drow, of course).
There are many Drow in Rivenblight, masquerading as other Elves for whatever agenda sends them forth from the Underdark.
The elves are divided into many camps of Family,Guild or Social-Class based structure as well as racially oriented.
So, you may have the Greenmoon Society, which is mostly Wood Elves,
the House of Dawn, a Grey Elf group of Wizards and Bards,
Clan Darmyth, a High Elf family with attendant servants etc...
I am hoping for the adventures to be mainly Espionage oriented within the city proper or 'dungeon delving' in the sunken parts of the ancient city, which have many connecting points to The Underdark.
I want to encourage players (via their backgrounds) and DMs to create Houses, Guilds,Clans etc...
There are also many Dwarves and Gnomes, Halflings and Humans (with one hostile human nation just East of Rivenblight), so there are many opportunities for fun, I hope.The place is teeming with undead,drow and the nasties that should never see the light of day, as a third of it fell into a crater several hundred years ago...lots of chances for treasure and wonders to be found.
I'll try to throw something out there as soon as CS gets back as to the timing of starting a whole second city.
