Drow is a Race in Baldur's Gate 3. Drows can wield both melee and ranged weapons. While creating your Character in Baldur's Gate 3, you can choose between 11 different types of races. Each of them has their special characteristics.

• BG3 Full Game Note: In the full launch of Baldur's Gate 3, Ability Score Points for Races that were present in Early Access are removed. And instead, Ability Score Points in the full game correspond with the Class players will choose.
  
  

Driven to the Underdark, most drow have adopted a ruthless pragmatism. While the Lolth-sworn delight in the goddess' evil tenets, the Seldarine reject Her attempt to overthrow the leader of the elven pantheon.

Baldur's Gate 3 Drow Subraces

• Lolth-Sworn (evil drow spider goddess) or Seldarine (non-evil surface elven pantheon) are not really separate subraces as much as roleplaying options, similarly to how Drows aren't really a separate race, but an elven subrace.
  
  

Drow Tips & Notes

• Drows is likely the race with the most social interaction reactivity. Expect more frequent NPC reactions to your race. 
• During Early Access, the Drow race used to feature +2 Dexterity and +1 Charisma. This has been changed in the full launch of BG3 and the Ability Score points are now associated with the Class that players will choose.
