| − | The [[drow]] is a [[race]] specific to [[SLASH'EM]], most noted for their bare-handed [[sleep]] attack. While SLASH'EM's regular [[Elf (starting race)|elves]] are lawful or neutral, drow are chaotic. Drow ''are'' elven 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> | + | The term '''"Drow"''' may refer to: |

| − | When drow fight [[bare hands|bare-handed]], their melee attacks will sometimes put [[monster]]s to sleep; this makes them an excellent choice for new SLASH'EM players. Like other elves, [[player]] drow gain [[sleep resistance]] at experience level 4.<ref>{{semsrc|src/attrib.c|1.9|line=135}} in 0.0.7E7F2</ref> Unlike other elves, drow do not have [[infravision]], nor are they [[infravisible]].

| − | 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 without 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. Drow with high bare-handed combat skill can even take down shopkeepers in hand-to-hand battles without taking a hit. The trade-off for this remarkable power comes later, when the drow finds its maximum stat scores limited. (Though the limits are the same as other elves)

| − | 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]].
