Looking over the license of the D-20 system and OGL I do not see "drow" listed as a protected race-name or product identity. As many of us have posted there are specific names and histories that are covered by trademark that you cannot use.

You could register and post, asking the question at , and likely find out from a source that would actually know if WotC feels that "drow" is protected.

Thanks Kavir for the correction of my post. I certainly meant "copyrighted", and as the owner of many copyrights (mostly for music) know better, but "copywritten" fell from my fingers in my quick post. Simple mistake, good catch on your part. Hate to impart an incorrect word to others.
