The ''Drow'' is a [[race]] specific to ''[[SLASH'EM]]'', most noted for their bare-handed [[sleep]] attack. While the [[Elf]] is lawful or neutral, the [[Drow]] is chaotic. Drow ''are'' elves but they are unlike other elves.<ref>{{semsrc|src/monst.c|1.29.2.7|line=3757}} in 0.0.7E7F2: drow have M2_ELF flag</ref> When drow fight [[bare-handed combat|bare-handed]], their melee attacks will sometimes put [[monster]]s to sleep; this makes them an excellent choice for new SLASH'EM players.

Drow are dark elves, more out-of-place at the [[surface]] than in the [[dungeon]]. Drow can take the roles of [[Barbarian]], [[Flame Mage]], [[Ice Mage]], [[Necromancer]], [[Priest]], [[Ranger]], [[Undead Slayer]] or [[Wizard]]; they play chaotic for all of them.

During the early game, drow survive well if they fight bare-handed. Monsters will wake soon after the drow puts them to sleep, but not if the drow attacks repeatedly. In this way, the drow can win many fights wihtout taking any damage after the monster slept. Even if surrounded, the drow's sleep attack helps them fight multiple opponents or flee into a corridor. Drow who forget to try [[bare-handed combat]] will find the game much more difficult. However, many monsters have sleep resistance and must be dealt with differently.
 
 
 
A droven [[Barbarian]] is an easy race-role combination and allows the player to begin fighting bare-handed before switching to a better weapon like a [[battle-axe]] or [[artifact]].
