Oh, and about Drow. I agree. They were very cool as a monster. They are pretty lame as a PC class. I don't like the idea of PCs being evil to the core, and IMO, Drow as a race are inherently and utterly evil, like Illithids or Red Dragons. In my game, you might encounter a nuetral or even good aligned orc, goblin or kobold now and then, but you will never find a non-evil Drow, period. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but it is my game, and rule 0 outweighs any argument about how ECL justifies Drow wonkiness.
If one of my players wants to play the angsty hero (read, drizzt like, a good guy from a evil civilization) I tell them to play a character raised by the Scarlet Brotherhood, or brought up as a slave in the Pomarj, or born into the infernal mess that is Iuz' empire. If they still demand that a Drow is the only way to go, I start to question why they really want to play it, which does in fact lead to mind words like "munchkin"...
