I believe that this race and class would flow fairly well together, and would love so input from more experienced players.
I'll be starting at level 5.

Ability Scores:
Str 12
Dex 18
Con 14
Int 18
Wis 15
Cha 16

I'm allowed two traits, but have no idea which to take.

I've been thinking the following for Feats:
Feats:
Level # of Feats Feat:
1 1 Weapon Finesse
3 1 Drow Nobility
5 2 Improved Drow Nobility, Dervish Dance
7 1 Weapon Specialization
9 1 Greater Drow Nobility
11 2 Greater Weapon Focus, Umbral Scion
13 1 Noble Spell Resistance
15 1 Greater Weapon Specialization
17 2 Improved Umbral Scion, Critical Focus
19 1 Combat Reflexes

I feel that they're pretty solid up to level 17, although the distinct lack of magic feats raises concern. Any (meta)magic recommendations?

Magus Arcana: An drow counts as an elf for the purpose of feats, favored class, etc, correct? If so, then I should be able to gain an extra Magus Arcana at levels 6, 12, and 18.

Level 3: Pool Strike (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base...pool-strike-su)
Level 6(1): Enduring Blade (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base...uring-blade-su)
Level 6(2): Empowered Magic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base...wered-magic-su)
Level 12(1): Devoted Blade (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base...ll-blending-ex)
Level 12(2): Spell Blending (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base...voted-blade-su)
I plan to use Spell Blending to be able to cast Ancestral Regression (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advancedRaceGuide/featuredRaces/drow.html#_ancestral-regression) (as suggested by Keneth. Thanks!:smallsmile:) as the other players don't yet know I'm playing a drow (and to make it easier on our DM). Until then, I plan on using a Hat of Disguise (as suggested by Yora. Thanks!:smallsmile:).

I appreciate any feedback anyone can offer me, and thank you very much. :smallsmile:
