So will Half-Drow be in PHB

[Sadrik]

We know that the half-elf is in. What about the half-eladrin? I wish they would stick the drow in instead and put the half-elf, half-eladrin and half-drow in another book. Or better yet just make a template or racial feat of some kind that you apply to a human.

 

[Daniel D. Fox]

I hope they leave Half Elves/Half Eladrin out, and simply make a blanket entry for Half-whatever with options on how to handle stat bonuses, feats and powers.

 

[LEHaskell]

Well, we are told that Elves are "of this world" and Eladrin are "of the Feywild, just visiting". Perhaps Eladrin are just "too fey" to mate with humans. Or too arrogant.

 

[Irda Ranger]

Or the differences are so slight that regardless of whether your parent is an elf or an eladrin, you use the half-elf racial entry.

 

[pawsplay]

Especially as Races and Classes identifies Eladrin as a variety of elf.

EDIT: The real interesting question is elf/eladrin.

 

[Sadrik]

So are half-drow elves no big deal either? So, half-drow will be in PHB too?

The fact that full-blooded Drow aren't in the Player's Handbook and that half-drow have never appeared in the first set of core rulebooks suggests no.

 

[CleverNickName]

I suppose they could have just called the eladrin "gnomes," and changed the fluff a bit. Even though I am not a fan of gnomes, I would much rather have gnomes than three (or more) flavors of elf.

Half-elf is lame enough. Half-eladrin, half-drow, half-etc.? Yikes.

 

[Merlin the Tuna]

Now wait a minute. Is there any info regarding this, or did "Half-Drow will be in the PHB" actually mean "There is no indication that half-drow are in the PHB, but I want to complain about elves in the PHB more?"

 

[Lorthanoth]

I think you're correct in that. Nowhere has anyone said that half-drow are in the PHB.
