Now they lurk in the acidic Swamp Hopeless, the ninth layer of the Abyss, an endless jungle marsh thriving with demonic vitality beneath a perpetually stormy sky. An abyssal jungle drow appears much like a normal drow, only smaller and somewhat more brutish. Her brow is thicker, more noticeably sloped; her jaw heavier, her teeth cruder. Abyssal jungle drow do not have the advanced culture of death that their material plane kin are infamous for. Still, abyssal jungle drow make up in violent, bloodthirsty exuberance what they lack in refined sadism. Abyssal jungle drow speak Elf and Abyssal. Most abyssal jungle drow encountered are warriors; the information in the statistics block is for one of 1st-level. COMBAT Ambush and guerrilla tactics are the forte of abyssal jungle drow. Masterful climbers and adept at remaining unseen, they lurk in the canopy and the muck of the Swamp Hopeless, waiting patiently for their prey to come within striking range. A barrage of poisoned arrows is followed by a daring charge. Should battle go against the abyssal jungle drow, they retreat into the canopy to rain more arrows onto their foes.

Abyssal Jungle Drow Traits: All abyssal jungle drow have the following racial traits. * Spell resistance 11 + character level. * +2 racial bonus to Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities. * Immunity to magic sleep spells and effects. * Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day - faerie fire, know direction, tree shape. These spells have a caster level equal the abyssal jungle drow's character level. * Darkvision 60 ft. * Low-light vision. * +2 racial bonus to Listen, Search, and Spot checks. An abyssal jungle drow who merely passes within 5 ft. of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check as though actively looking for it. * +8 racial bonus to Climb checks, and can always take 10, even when rushed or threatened.

She also suffers a -1 circumstance penalty to all attack rolls, saves, and checks while operating in bright light. ABYSSAL JUNGLE DROW CHARACTERS An abyssal jungle drow's favored character class is rogue. While abyssal jungle drow pay homage to Lloth, they view her as a savage nature goddess.
