Half-Elf Drow?

[omedon]

Are there any special rules or benefits for Half-Elf Drow in any of the D&D lore? Or are they just run of the mill Half-Elves with dark skin?

In the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Half-drow are treated exactly the same as half-elves, except instead of low-light vision they get darkvision out to a range of 60 feet.

Appearance-wise, half-drow have dusky skin and pale hair.

Thanks for the help.

They were quite different in 1ed, iirc.

How so?

what about a half-drow, half high-elf, what special rules would you give that? In a way that is a full blooded elf, but would s/he get the best of both worlds, the worst of them? How whould they be percieved on the surface? Would they hate themselves or one of their parents?

I wonder if that will be true in 3.5.

Will they give half-drows +2 diplomacy and gather information ?

I would not. And I think getting darkvision instead of low-light vision justifies not giving them these two skill bonuses.

According to the Monster Manual, they're just normal half-elves with "dusky skin and light hair."

IMC, such a mixin of the blud results in a monstrosity that is feared/reviled by both species as such 'abominations' posses all the strengths & none of the weaknesses of the parent races----they make great badguys
