OK, here is a try at a new class, the half-drow. Please add comments if you wish.

HALF DROW
Half Drows are the children of Drowelves and humans, though they are rare, Drow and human, mostly mercanaries, have found lust or even romances that has brought the Halfdrow to this world. HalfDrows are in a bigger threat than the usual half-elves since their parents have a dark legaxy to bestow them at birth. Male half-drows with born at the underdark with the Drow as caretakers are usually sacrificed at birth to Llolth. Thoose that don´t get sacrificed still have aharsher life than other Drow males. The only option for them is to serve as a fighter in a clanhouse never rising above fodder-leader. Some find their way to be mercinaries and are renounced for their ferocious battle hardness and sometimes cold ways. Thoose that find their way to the surface world usually ends up as fighters mercanaries or rouges. Their heritage mark them as evil even if this is not the truth.
The half-drows growing up with human parents are oftenly also considered outcasts and have a hard time growing up due to their dark heritage. Some take up the profession as a fighter or rouge. Some take to wandering the world to find a refuge from all the hatred that oftenly meets them.
Female drows are sometimes kept in the underdark since females have a higher standing and their human side gives them more strength and also more flecibility than most others. These are usually trained as clerics to Lolth or as fighters. Females have best chance to be able to blend in in the Drow culture, though they are also aware of their human ancestry. Those that grow up with their human parent follow the male example above.

Hlf-Drows are dark blue in skincolor with eyes reflecting both their drow and human ancestry. haircolor is white or some light reflection of the parents color, in unusual straits they have black hair. They are somewhat stronger than the ordinary drow . From birth they have the same darkvision as their parents and the same magic if they stay in the underdark, these abilities disappear if they wander from the underdark up to the surface and stays there for more than a year. To get it back they have to live in the underdark for one year.

Str: -1
Con: -
Dex:+1
Int: -
Wis:-
Cha:+1
Multiclass, have the same advantages as humans and Halfelves.
Darkvision 60 feet. (can be 120 don´t remeber..)
Due to their drow heritage they get ambidextroius as a feat for free if they take up fighter profession (1 level in fighter class)
Listen and spot checks are made with a racial benefit of +1
They are also immune to magic with sleep effect and a plus +2 resitance against charm person checks. (More or less the same as standard half-elves)

Half-drows tend towards neutral and chaotic alignments but they´re known to excist in any.
