 Drow Names
Drow, like their Elven cousins prefer names that flow off the tongue, however their names tend to have a harsher sound to them.
This is especially true for a GM who may find himself trying to come up with a large number of such names on short notice, yet without appropriate names, non-human characters often loose their unique flavor.
How it Works: Each Drow name consists of a prefix (from Table 2) and one or more suffixes (from Table 3),and then a house name consisting of a prefix (from table 4) and one or more suffixes (from table 5).

 Rant - Drow Items That Decay Come From Mean DMs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
So a drow that should have 10,000 gp of gear actually has (for example) 12,000 gp of gear (if computed without the discount).
True, they can use the drow equipment while on such a campaign, but when they leave the underground tunnels laden with "treasure" that's going to evaporate, that means they're not being fairly rewarded for their work.
If the drow are just an occassional opponent it's not so bad (they would count as a no-treasure monster in those circumstances), but you still have to keep in mind how the cost of DDS (however you interpret it, using option 1 or 2 above) affects the EL of the encounter.

The Council of Drow is a group of drow from each house that meets once a year to discuss matters concerning their race as a whole.

 Drow Poisons
This is the famous sleep-poison of the drow, used on their crossbow bolts to immobilize an enemy so that he can be killed at leisure.
Drow find death caused by this venom to be particularly entertaining.

 Jarlaxle: Who the Hell Is He?
He should be evil, seeing as he's a drow (drow aren't candystriper type people).
Jarlaxle speaks to his svirfnebli contacts in their own language, and he speaks it perfectly, but with strange sentance structure that is either drowish or old-fashioned.
This seems to indicate that Jarlaxle was the drow the deep gnomes were talking about - except his deep gnome contacts don't know where he learnt svirfnebli.
