[QUOTE="Votan, post: 3295500, member: 18680"] This is a very good fix. It actually enhances flavor (such as the weak willed average Drow male or the seductive Drow Priestess) and synergizes well with the favored classes. It's also playable as a race. The truth is that I don't much care, one way or the other, about specific Drow abilities. I care about interesting flavor (that is what is fun to play). They used to use tricks to strip magic resistance from PC Drow in previous editions -- this was fine as I didn't want to play a "magic resistant guy" but rather the dark mirror of the elf. What they could be if they turned their talents into darkenss. Either to revel in the insanity of the dark elves or to play the classic tortured hero. Sure, this was such a good idea that many find it cliche. But a dark elf is supposed to be scary. For game balance I accept equal. But it actually hurts flavor when the dark elf is weak and kind of useless compared to the powerful humans and elves in the party! [/QUOTE]
