I would like to go on record as stating Drow should not start off with the dancing lights cantrip. this doesn't fit in with the lore of drow, nor is a good choice seeing as how drow have superior darkvision to start. It's in my opinion a waste, seeing as if your playing a drow/half your never going to use it. To fit better in with the lore of the drow something along the lines of their lore friendly darkness, or levitate (though it seems to not be in the spells that I've seen perhaps feather fall?). I can see the abuse seeing as how these 2 are not cantrips yet it irks me to see them with dancing lights. Maybe fairyfire seeing as how that to fits into lore.
These are the old Drow, you are talking about. The 5e elven subrace is much more limited. They basically only get some attribute adjustments, superior Darkvision, weapon training and a hand full of crantrips/spells (dancing lights, faery fire (at 3rd level) and darkness (at 5th level)). Spellcasting also is no longer limited to the caste, with commoners and high born Drow having access to different spells. Oh, and sunlight sensitivity, but I guess that one got taken care of by the tadpole in BG3. No levitation, no spell resistance, etc.
