Drow Elves Racial Trait Questions

Lord Thurham

First Post
Question: Do the Drow elves get the “Immunity to magic sleep spells and effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against Enchantment spells or effects”?

The reason I ask is this: In the FRCS book, the Racial Abilities section of the Drow Elves, it says “Drow have all the elven racial traits listed on page 16 of the Player’s Handbook except as follows: …

And the only thing related saving throws is this:

“+2 racial bonus on Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities.”

And this:

“Spell Resistance of 11+ character level”


Are Drow Elves immune to Sleep spells and effects?

Is the +2 Enchantment spells or effects saving throw bonus replaced by the +2 Will save bonus?

Thanks!

Drow Traits (Ex): These are in addition to the basic elf traits, except where noted here. Drow do not get the usual elven weapon proficiencies.
Spell resistance 11 + class level.
+2 racial bonus to Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities.
Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day-dancing lights, darkness, and faerie fire. These abilities are as the spells cast by a sorcerer of the drow’s character level.
Darkvision up to 120 feet. This replaces elven low-light vision.
Light Blindness (Ex): Abrupt exposure to bright light (such as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds drow for 1 round. In addition, they suffer a -1 circumstance penalty to all attack rolls, saves, and checks while operating in bright light.

If you want to be really technical about it, drow gain both a +2 to Enchantment spells and a +2 to Will saves. But they are both Racial, and so don't stack. I suppose if you had a fort or ref save against an Enchantment spell, you'd get the bonus.

Since sleep immunity isn't mentioned, drow get it.
