[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 8375197, member: 58416"] I don't know. In the past, I had thought that some of the D&D races had some innate connection to deities and cosmic forces. I had previously thought that Drow being colorized in essentially what is the opposite of how High Elves were described was a way to indicate that their deity (Lolth) had broken away from the rest of the pantheon and taught her followers a radically different outlook on life, causing those who were her followers to physically change because of their connection to her and being marked with some manner of divine influence. I had thought their inner magic likewise changed to be different spells. If none of that is correct, I admittedly don't have a solid explanation. I guess it could be taught, like how Sith and Jedi learn different force techniques. I'm not someone who has an emotional investment in Drow culture... never really got into Forgotten Realms, Drizzt, and such. What's above were what I had thought, based on the handful of lore in the 3E core books I had when I started playing D&D and the bits and pieces I've picked up about the Drow racial template from discussions with other people who play D&D.
