I'd like to point out that I love drow, because of the roleplay. I also like elves, which is why I'm wondering why CF goes out of the way to make these two races suck ass!

*Metal vulnerabilities are brutal, only bash is worse then mithril.
*Intelligence is probably the least important stat in the game. High Intelligence is a convenience, not a deathly attribute.
*Perm sneak can be gained from an item, and a great deal of classes get sneak anyway... Not knockin perm sneak, it rules, just saying it's not a huge pro.
*Can't get 22 wisdom (even though half-drow can), check shaman.
*This race is made for a spellcasting class, yet, no spellcasting class benefits from high dex. So the high dex (in my opinion) is wasted.
*The exp penalty is terrible.

Compare drow shaman vs dwarf shaman. Can someone explain? If the imms want to keep the number of drow down, they have succeeded. Picking drow is like shooting yourself in the foot.
