With the ability to resist magic and powerful darkvision, drow are more powerful than many of ''Dungeons & Dragons''{{'}} races.<ref name="PF16intro">{{cite book|last1=Schneider|first1=F.

They can also levitate for short periods of time. They live to extraordinarily long ages if not killed by violence first, over a thousand years in some cases. Their hearing and vision are better than that of a human being and they are difficult to sneak up on because of this. They naturally excel at moving silently. Drow also employ the unusual hand [[crossbow]], firing small, though very lethal, darts.

In Lolth based societies, noble drow males are commonly [[Wizard (Dungeons & Dragons)|wizards]] or [[Fighter (Dungeons & Dragons)|fighters]]. Female nobles are almost always [[Cleric (Dungeons & Dragons)|clerics]] and almost never wizards.
