Half Drow Half Elf

Elf Witch

First Post
I have been looking for stats for a half drow half elf character. I can't find anything. All I can find is either a half elf or half drow where one of the parents is human.

What my player wants is one parent was a drow and one was a surface elf.

Does anyone know of any place that has a character build like this? If not do you have any suggestions for building one?

Also out of curiosity does is there a place that has stats for a gnomeling? Half Halfling Half gnome. I know that Hackmaster has them but I was wondering if there was a D20 build?

Just take one of the weak or useless elf abilities, replace it with one of the weak or useless Drow abilities, write up some stuff about how half breeds are angsty outcasts, and call it a day.

That is not the flavor I am going for. Drow get special abilities a lot of them which is why they get an ecl hit. I don't have an issue with it still having an ecl hit. I am just uncertain how to merge the two classes.

And in the campaign world there are good drow who left behind their allegiance to Lloth and returned to the worship of Correlon.

The character is the child of two characters from the original campaign. Her father was a elf paladin of Correlon and her mother was a drow cleric of Correlon. She was raised in a society where her parents were respected and intermarriages between drow and elf were not looked down on.

So no angst is needed.
 

Well, realistically speaking, an offspring would not have the full advantages of either, so I would make it a plus +1 LA, personally, and average out skill/racial score adjustments/other numerical features to the exact middle ground, since their doesn't seem to be any specific writing on this, although there should be.
 

The special abilities drow get are not very powerful, aside from Spell Resistance.

Take away the high elf's low light vision, +2 on saves vs enchantment, and bonus to listen, search, and spot checks in exchange for Darkvisiono 60 ft, +2 on saves vs spells and SLA, and the Drow's Dancing Light and Faerie Fire SLAs and call it a LA +0 race.
 

We play that we give the half drow/half elf all the base elf abilities with added 60ft dark vision. Also the hybrid looks almost exactly like a pure blood drow which gives him a +10 to you go to jail check :D

Personally, I wouldn't do that, but that's just me.
 

Green Ronin's "Advanced Bestiary" has a half-drow inherited template that can be applied to an elf (or most anything else, for that matter).

[edit] From online reviews, I understand the original "Book of Templates" (not the "Revised: Deluxe Edition") from Silverthorne Games had a half-gnome template, but I can't verify that.

I let a woman play a half-drow, half-elf character in a campaign. She essentially began as a half-elf that I allowed to take drow feats. That elminated the Level Adjustment.
