|'''Special Senses:'''||Low-light Vision, Darkvision 120 ft

|'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Dark Talent (Sp):</u> 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.<br><u>Superior Senses:</u> 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.

::At 1st level, he gains Poison Use, as the assassin class feature.

::At 5th level, he adds +30 ft to the range limit of his precision damage (going from 30 ft to 60 ft, or more if he has other sources of increased precision damage range).  

::At 10th level, he reduces the penalty for Hiding while sniping by 5 (from -20 to -15), and he gets +2 to the save DCs of poisons he applies with his weapons.

::At 20th level, he can move at full speed without taking a penalty to Hide or Move Silently (he still takes the normal penalty when running or charging).

::At 1st level, he learns to feint as a move action rather than a standard action (this becomes a swift action if he has the Improved Feint feat), and he doesn't take the -4 penalty for feinting against nonhumanoids (and only -4 against creatures of animal intelligence).  

::At 5th level, he gains +1d6 points of Sneak Attack damage on melee attacks, as the rogue ability (this stacks with other sources of Sneak Attack).

::At 10th level, he can feint as a swift rather than a move action (or free action once per round with Improved Feint), and he takes no penalty for feinting against creatures of animal intelligence.  

::At 15th level, his melee Sneak Attack damage bonus improves by another +1d6 (to +2d6 total).

::At 20th level, if he successfully feints a creature, that creature loses its Dex to AC for the remainder of the round rather than just for one attack.

::At 5th level, he gets +1d6 points of skirmish damage while mounted, as the scout class feature. This stacks with other sources of skirmish.  

::At 10th level, he gets a +1 competence bonus to AC when skirmishing while mounted, which stacks with that from any other sources of skirmish he has.

|'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Legion Training:</u> Hobgoblins are trained to fight in a group. Whenever a hobgoblin of 1st level or higher stands adjacent to a humanoid or monstrous humanoid ally besides himself in combat, he gets a +1 morale bonus to attack, AC, and saves. This improves to a +2 bonus at 8th level, and a +3 bonus at 16th level. If the ally also has this racial feature, both creatures can get this bonus as long as they are within weapon reach of each other, even if they're not adjacent.

|'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Armor Proficiencies:</u> Hobgoblins automatically have proficiency with light armor, medium armor, and all shields (including tower shields).<br><u>Battlefield Ear:</u> Hobgoblins are used to listening to orders in the chaos of battle, gaining a +2 racial bonus to Listen checks. This improves to a +3 bonus at 5th level, +4 at 10th level, +5 at 15th level, and +6 at 20th level.

|'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Powerful Build:</u> 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.<br><u>Light Sensitivity:</u> Orcs are sensitive to light, becoming dazzled in bright light or within the radius of a ''daylight'' spell.

|'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Axe Training:</u> Orcs are automatically proficient with the handaxe, battleaxe, greataxe, and orc double axe.<br><u>Swift Charger:</u> Orcs can charge quickly into the fray, gaining a +10 ft bonus to speed when charging.
