-The drow's sleep-inducing melee attack can be very dangerous for unprepared characters, but can be completely nullified by sleep resistance and almost completely blocked by [[Magic cancellation (3.4.3)|MC3]], rendering them much less threatening opponents against [[Elf (starting race)|elven]] and drow characters. Their guaranteed dark elven mithril-coat can be a useful upgrade for non-spellcasting characters until they obtain a [[dragon scale mail]].
