|'''Primary Features:'''||Spell Resistance: Drow are inherently resistant against spells. They have spell resistance equal to 8 + character level. Poison Use: All drow can apply poison to their weapons without risk of poisoning themselves. This works as the assassin class feature. Weapon Proficiencies: Drow automatically have weapon proficiency with hand crossbow, rapier, and whip.

|'''Secondary Features:'''||Dark Talent (Sp): All drow gain access to a pool of magic each day through which they may access spell-like abilities. At 1st level, a drow has 2 magic charges per day, which increases by one every level divisible by 3 (so 3/day at 3rd, 4/day at 6th, etc). He may spend a charge to use ''ghost sound'', ''darkness'', or ''faerie fire'' as a spell-like ability, with caster level equal to character level and save DCs (if any) based off of Charisma. Superior Senses: Drow get a +2 racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks. This increases to a +3 bonus at 4th level, +4 at 8th level, +5 at 12th level, +6 at 16th level, and +7 at 20th level.

Sleepless: Like other elves, drow don't need to sleep. Instead, they must only trance for four hours each day to get the same benefit that a human gets from eight hours of sleep (including the ability to regain spell slots and similar over that time). In addition, drow are immune to magical sleep effects. Superior Senses: Drow get a +2 racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks. This increases to a +3 bonus at 4th level, +4 at 8th level, +5 at 12th level, +6 at 16th level, and +7 at 20th level.

|'''Primary Features:'''||Powerful Build: The physical stature of orcs lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever it is advantageous for him, an orc is considered one size category larger for the purposes of special abilities and combat maneuvers that depend on size (like Swallow Whole and determining who he can grapple) as well as checks that are subject to a size modifier (like grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts). In addition, he may use weapons designed for creatures of a size category larger without penalty, though his size and reach remain that of his actual size. This trait stacks with effects that would change his size category~~. Light Sensitivity: Orcs are sensitive to light, becoming dazzled in bright light or within the radius of a ''daylight'' spell~~.

|'''Secondary Features:'''||Able Charger: Whenever an orc charges, he gets a +10 ft bonus to speed for that charge. In addition, his AC penalty from charging is only -1 rather than -2. At 7th level, the AC penalty from charging goes away entirely. Axe Training: Orcs are automatically proficient with the handaxe, battleaxe, greataxe, and orc double axe.

They receive a +4 racial bonus to such saves.
