[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4189394, member: 14848"] But that is exactly why I think they will appear in the PHB2, consolidating all the rules into one book for playing them. Everything in the given setting will be setting specific for the race, i.e. in FR Drow live underground with penalties from light and interact with spiders while in Eberron they live in a jungle and interact with scorpions. The PHB2 will allow them to put all the various rules into one book so players who don't play those setting can have them available. I know I'd be a little ticked if I had to buy a book I didn't want just to get something I wanted to play. Drow are a core playable monster race, always have been, and belong in a core book so they will make the cut. The whole reason for Races of Eberron, being a brown covered book in 3e, was to get the races out there to the masses who wanted them but didn't like the look of Eberron. That is what I see the core books doing with the most popular aspects of the game. So while there may be races/classes included in the settings which stay only in their specific settings the most popular which can be applied outside of it will go mainstream. This also encourages crossover as those who buy the PHBII and would like to play Drow but their DM doesn't have time to develop the world then they can play FR or Eberron. I'll stand by my speculation as listed earlier, but will change the "H" to Half-giant as the race has been published before outside its original setting of Darksun. [/QUOTE]
