Drow are light sensitive and are blinded by sunlight for a short duration. Note: currently (Aug. 4, 2004), drow receive low-light vision as per other elves; however, core rules state drow have darkvision. Note: As per D&D Monster Manual, July 2003, P. 104, sunblindness should last for only one (1) round, before the blindness wears off, leaving the drow dazzled. Currently, the blindness lasts for a longer duration, likely one (1) turn.
As drow is a powerful race, drow receive 2/3 xp (experience) in combat.

Dwarves

Shield Dwarves (default subrace): +2 con, -2 cha
Stonecunning (+2 search checks on stonework), Darkvision, Hardiness vs. Poisons and Spells (+2 vs poisons, spells and spell-like effects), Offensive Training vs. Orcs, Goblinoids and Giants (+1 AB), Defensive Training vs. Giants (+4 dodge bonus), +2 Skill Affinity Lore.

Note: skill changes not registering in character sheets. Duergar are light sensitive and are blinded by sunlight for a short duration.
Note: As Glendil noted below, this sunblindness is inaccurate. Duergar are Light Sensitive, receiving a Dazzled penalty (same as Drow when blindness expires) when in bright light. Duergar are not actually blinded by exposure to bright light for any duration.
As Duergar are a powerful race, they receive 2/3 xp in combat.

Note: the extra feat at 1st level has not been incorporated into Anph. One could speculate this is due to subrace selection occurring after character creation.

Half-elves

Half-elves: No ability adjustments, immunity to magical sleep, Hardiness vs Enchantments (+2 will saves vs. enchantments), +1 Skill affinities: listen, spot and search, low light vision.

Half-drow: No ability adjustments, immunity to magical sleep, Hardiness vs. Enchantments (+2 will saves vs. enchantments), +1 Skill affinities: listen, spot and search, darkvision.

Inconsistancies

1 - Stronghearts should receive a bonus 1st lvl feat. 2 - Duergar should not be Sunblinded, only Light Sensitive. 3 - Drow sunblindness should only last 1 round.

Also, note that, when creating a subrace character, it is imperative to only use a single headstone; furthermore, only click/use that individual headstone once. If a character uses two headstones, or uses a single headstone twice, the following feedback message appears:

You have already selected a subrace

This should just deny the character the ability to change the subrace again; however, it doesn't. It actually takes all the first chosen subrace bonuses away from that character. For example, Joe the elf wants to be a wild elf. He clicks the Wild Elf Headstone, receiving a -2 Int and a +2 Con modifier, in addition to the standard elven +2 Dex, -2 Con. The net effect is +2 Dex, -2 Int. Joe accidentally clicks the headstone again. He loses the -2 Int and +2 Con, effectively becoming a standard moon elf again; however his subrace under character sheet will still indicate that he is a wild elf, inspite of the fact that he doesn't get the wild elf modifiers.
