Drow

Drow are a deeply competitive and stratified people. They resemble elves, except for their skin, which tends toward gray or purple, their eyes, which are a solid color, and their hair, which is often white or silver. Social hierarchy is determined by family and birth order. They prefer to live in vast cave systems which they decorate lavishly with elaborate silkwork. They were cast out of the realm of Hesh-Helleth for the sin of mercy, being too lenient on the weak and unprivileged. The Drow did not immediately notice their placement in this new world, as their city was transposed to a massive cave similar enough to where they were before. When they realized that they had not received orders from their goddess for a while the heads of household held a meeting and decided to make the best of the situation. The head of the most powerful house is Matron Zaer’kel.

The drow use paper currency issued by the families and only family run businesses accept it. It comes in 1, 8, and 64 denominations and each unit entitles the possessor to one five hundred millionth of the family’s holdings.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Poison (Ex) - Bite—injury; save Fort DC 9; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Con damage; cure 1 save.

Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm’s reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with her familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link’s limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that her familiar does.

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: The witch may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on herself. A witch may cast spells on her familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar‘s type (magical beast).

Store Spells: Starting at 1st level, a witch’s familiar stores all of the spells that the witch knows. This does not allow the familiar to cast these spells or use spell-trigger or spell completion magic items. Starting at 2nd level, and every two levels thereafter, a witch’s familiar adds new bonus spells to the witch’s spell list based on her patron. These spells are automatically stored by the familiar and can be prepared as normal once they are gained.

Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If a witch is 3rd level or higher, her familiar can deliver touch spells or hexes for her. If the witch and the familiar are in contact at the time the witch casts a touch spell, she can designate her familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the witch would. As usual, if the witch casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates. If the witch activates a hex, her familiar can be used to make the touch. She does not have to be in contact with the familiar to use this ability.

Speak with Master (Ex): If the master is 5th level or higher, a familiar and the master can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication without magical help.
