Although primarily intended for DM use<ref>Drow of the Underdark, page 5.</ref>, players can use that information to playing as a drow character or half-drow character, as well as fight against drow, or adventure in the [[Underdark]] in general. ===Contents=== ====All About Drow==== The first chapter contains general information about drow and contains few rules other than drow racial traits. A guide to drow names and their meanings is also included. ====Drow Options==== This chapter contains new uses for various skills, new feats (including general, metamagic, ambush, divine, vile, and weapon style feats), alternate class features for many classes, and new spells and invocations (some of which require the user to be a drow). ====Prestige Classes==== New prestige classes in this chapter include Arachnomancer, Cavestalker, Demonbinder, Dread Fang of [[Lolth]], Eye of [[Lolth]], Insidious Corrupter, and Kinslayer. Each prestige class also contains a sample NPC ready for quick use. ====Drow Equipment==== This chapter contains new mundane, alchemical, and magic items, along with poisons, magic-infused poisons, and artifacts <!--Needs further chapter-by-chapter expansion here.--> ====New Monsters and NPCs==== Numerous new monsters are presented in ''Drow of the Underdark'', including the deep dragon, trolls, goblins, and draegloth. There are also numerous ready-to-use drow NPC statistics, both for "generic" NPCs (such as "drow slaver") and "specific" NPCs (like Xil'Etha Dhuvvaryl).
