The Drae
Often referred to as Dark Elves, this enigmatic race is frequently presumed to be evil, though more accurate descriptions may be fierce, somber, and thoughtful. The underworld is the natural home of this shadowy race, and they usually only venture into the light of day if they have great need. The Drae‘s natural aversion to daylight often causes them to cover their faces with hoods. Drae go to great lengths to shroud their thoughts as well, and their surreptitious nature is world-renowned.

Make-Up Requirements
The Player must wear black make-up on all exposed skin. Drae have gray, silver, or white hair and must wear pointed ears.
Inherent Advantages
It is thought that a relation to the Fey allows the Elven races to resist the effects of charming attacks or influences. Therefore, each Drae character may purchase the Resist Charm skill. Drae can also purchase the Resist Sleep skill due to their slowed metabolisms. Resist Emotion is also available to them due to the harsh way they are treated at childhood. The Crossbow skill is a staple of childhood combat training, so Drae deal +2 damage with crossbows (increasing base damage to 8 Normal).
Inherent Disadvantages
Size and physique* prevent the Drae from purchasing the Two-Handed Blunt or Two-Handed Sword (Note: Drae MAY purchase the Two-Handed Mastery skill, however, it is limited to use of Polearms and Staves). While not as frail as the Surface Elf, Drae have a natural physical weakness. Drae suffer a -5 to Maximum Body Points, and –2 Body Points disadvantage while adventuring in the daylight hours. Similarly, the Light Spell (Earth, 1st Level) causes a Drae to be blinded for 10 seconds. This effect will last for 10 seconds.
*Purchasing at least +1 Strength Bonus, as a prerequisite, permits Drae to purchase the Two-Handed Blunt and Two-Handed Sword, or gain the use of those weapons with Two-Handed Mastery skill. All Strength bonus rules apply. No other source of strength augmentation is suitable for this benefit.
