Also remember this: The Drow special abilities doesn't work in daylight, and some DM's even use the rule that they don't work at all above ground.

It is pretty dull to have a character who is week as a kitten all day, and has to roleplay alone 90% of the time because the rest of the party is asleep... |
But in many Forgotten Realms novels, the innate magical abilities of Drow that work on the surface are the Faerie Fire and Darkness abilities. Other special abilities seem to be negated, but not those.
Lost One: At least Drow are not as set back in levels as, say, Tanarukks. Their Effective Character Level (ECL) is 8 levels higher due to their 5 Hit Dice and +3 level adjustment.
