Drow

Medium Psychic humanoid—polymorph template

A drow form brings Psychic magic into a body that needs neither speech nor gesture to cast it. It becomes available at Polymorph Level 2.


Drow (Polymorph Template)

Drow, Medium Psychic humanoid

The caster retains their HP, attacks, Saves, Speed, and other combat values. The form changes the body and grants the following racial traits.

Drow Darkvision The form sees in black and white without light to 180 ft. Daylight causes no penalty.

Blue Mana The form has the same reserve as a human sorcerer: 4 blue slots per spell level + ½ CHA, at every spell level up to the level of Polymorph. These slots belong to the form and disappear when Polymorph ends. They can be spent only on its racial spells.

Racial Spells At Polymorph Level 2, the form can cast Levitate and Darkness. At Polymorph Level 4, it also gains Telekinesis. These Psychic spells require neither speech nor gesture.

Drow Level 2 — Racial Darkness. This is the second racial power a Drow awakens. It costs one Level 2 blue spell slot and creates a sphere with a radius of up to 5 ft per CL for 1 minute per level. Activating it is Swift (1 tick); dismissing it is Free. Drow Darkvision and infrared vision see normally inside. This racial casting requires no component.

Psychic Casting Only The caster cannot use their original spells while in drow form. The only spells permitted are the form's racial spells and Polymorph itself when used to end the transformation. Drows possess no natural telepathy.

The Caster's Mind Polymorph retains the caster's mind. The form grants no drow memories, doctrine, language, or cultural knowledge.
