Not without ruining it.Anyone using those options is not playing a Drow. They are just playing a dark skinned elf. And if you just want to play a dark skinned elf, then play a Wood Elf and just note that you come from a dark skinned tribe of them. Don't claim you are playing a Drow and gut it of all meaning by removing every feature that makes it at all different from a standard high elf.</blockquote>
