  • Elven Trance: As with all elves, Drow Elves do not sleep like members of the other common races do. Instead, they meditate in a deep trance for 4 hours a day. An elf resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. While meditating, an elf dreams, though these dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. The Common word for an elf’s meditation is “trance,” as in “four hours of trance.”

    • Favored Class Cleric/Wizard. A multiclass female Drow Elf cleric class or a male Drow Elf wizard does not count when determining whether he or she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
