Half-Drow Appearance
For in character purposes, Half-Drow will be viewed as and treated as legally and socially indistinct from full Drow by in character polities and NPCs of the surface. Further, all characters that are Half-Drow must have their standard in character appearance depicted at character creation and thereafter with dusky skin and silver or white hair, with a broad range of eye colors allowed, per DM Team interpretation of Forgotten Realms lore on the topic. Characters that date before this ruling and that do not comply with the appearance ruling herein may request a one-time 100% RCR, but otherwise normal RCR rules will apply.
The number of half drow on the entire server is tiny and hardly worth the efforts to enforce standardized rules of appearance...
If this is about a single Half-Drow then deal with that character, if somehow this is a terrible epidemic then change the character generation appearance chooser to match the criteria... please give them replacement shades of acceptable colors for skin and hair since they've totally sucked anyway
If not, this just amounts to interference of character creation and rp, for little value since numbers of half-drow are very very low.
Half Drow is just that... Half, Humans that can spawn these individuals are of varied colored skin and hair, the Imaskari in the depths can only choose pale white skin with a limited selection of mostly blue hair to choose from. These crossing with Drow lends to varied degrees of coloration. Unless the drow traits are to be considered the dominate traits only there should be variations. Heck, half-drow can only currently choose to be about 2 feet taller than a drow parent, not even similar in height, girth, or base current skin colors, hardly dominate traited.
Edit: What about wigs? Is it outlawed for Half-Drow to wear a dark haired wig?!? How does this effect the move toward actual Disguise skill and spell use?
