Good Save: Reflex
HD: d6
Skills (4+Int): Athletics (Str), Craft (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (all)(Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Stealth (Dex), and Survival (Wis).
Level 1: Poison Use, Spell-Like Abilities, Vermin Companion
Level 2: Spell Resistance +4, Spellcasting +1 level
Level 3: Ability Boost (Dex +2), Spellcasting +1 level
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Drow paragons are proficient with all simple weapons, rapiers, longswords, and hand crossbows, and with light armor.
Poison Use (Ex): A drow paragon is trained in the use of poison and never risks accidentally poisoning herself when applying poison to a blade.
Improved Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At 1st level, a drow paragon gains one additional daily use of each of her innate spell-like abilities.
Vermin Companion (Ex): If a drow paragon already has a familiar or animal companion (or both), she may add her levels of drow paragon to the class(es) that granted her that creature, so long as the creature is a spider*.
If drow paragon is taken as the character's first level, then she instead gains the Wild Cohort (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20031118a) feat, with the following modification: her Wild Cohort is always a monstrous spider* which is treated as an animal of Int 2 for the purpose of tricks. She uses this table (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20040705a) to determine the size of vermin available, remembering that she is treated as 3 levels lower than a Druid of her HD.
*) If you are playing in Eberron, this feature would apply to scorpions instead of spiders.
Spellcasting: At 2nd and 3rd level, a female drow paragon gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in cleric. A male drow paragon instead gains new spells per day as if he had gained a level of wizard. The paragon does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic feats, and so on). This essentially means that the character adds the level of drow paragon to her level in cleric or wizard, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.

If the character previously had no spellcasting, he does now.
Save Bonus (Ex): A 2nd-level dwarf paragon's racial bonus on saves against poison and against spells and spell-like effects increases by +2.
If the character did not previously have levels in either Cleric or Sorcerer, then he picks either Cleric or Sorcerer, and gains spellcasting as if he had one level of that class (but no other benefits of that class).
