EdTheKet - Nope it wouldn't. You wouldn't have spent decades/centuries in the darkness but just grown up on the surface not bieng affected by the sun at all.
But since you cannot take the feat when creating your character <b />(it's custom to Layo, so it will only show up after creation when you level and can take feats<b />), you'd probably have to take it as soon as you can to fit your character's history of never having lived below ground.
That help? -
ÂThought this was interesting because I disagree with it. Anyone who's ever taken Biology or some type of life science will know about dominant genes. Every person has two chromosomes for every trait of their body (skin color, eye color, hair color, we'll use eyes as an example).
ÂMy mother has green eyes (a recesive trait) that means she got a gene for green eyes from both parents. My father however has blue eyes (a dominant gene) that means he recieved at least one blue eye gene from one of his parents. (two different dominant or recesive genes will combine to make something new) When I was born I recieved a recesive gene from my mother (green eye gene) and a dominant from my father (blue eyes) blue beats green so my eyes are blue.
 Blue eyes are more sensitive to light than brown or green eyes are, that is a part of genetics and evolution. Since people with blue eyes came from further north of the equator, they recieved less light during the course of the year. That made for lighter skin, hair, and eyes that didn't rely on light as much.
 Drow have lived in the Underdark (a near lightless habitat) for thousands of years, developing a darkvision like no other, as well as light sensitivity. To me, that means no matter where you grew up, you eyes will always be, at least to some extent, light sensitive. Am I right here, or is there something I've overlooked? (Note: I'm bored and wanted something to do, so I wrote up this.)
