[QUOTE="WarlockLord, post: 3960182, member: 40098"] The elf article that came out recently implied that drow have +2 dex, +2 cha. In my view, there should be an int bonus in there somewhere. Here's why: 1) Strong tradition of wizardry: Not much to be said here, but many of the male drow in FR are wizards. Wizards need intelligence, therefore... 2)Backstabbing culture: As we know it, the drow are still the same backstabbing old buddies. So why, oh why, wouldn't natural selection favor the more intelligent ones, who are able to plot and counterplot better than the likeable moron down the street? 3) They had it in 3.5. Not a strong reason, but as long as their culture is being kept much the same... Can someone answer this? Anyone from WoTC able to shed light on this? I know we don't absolutely know they don't, but it doesn't look good. [/QUOTE]
