Check Out DRIZZT DO'URDEN'S 5E Character Sheet!

Here's a look at the character sheet of one Mr. D. Do'Urden. Chris Perkins played the character during the latest Pax East Acquisitions Inc. live game. Eagle-eyed readers might spot that Drizzt is only 8th level here; Perkins has a decent explanation for why that is: "I didn't feel it was appropriate to bring a 15th-level character to an 8th-level party." When asked what makes Drizzt so iconic, he replied "Because he's a super ninja with two magic scimitars and a magic cat! Rawr!" That last sentence is not true; what he actually said was "He puts the welfare of others before himself. He helps those who need help, including those who hate and fear him."

One of the tricky things with any statline for Drizzt is that he does thing in his stories that would seem impossible at 8th, 15th, heck even at 20th level. He's really inherently a powerful NPC that gets to bend and break rules, not a PC that needs to follow them.

Ehh not really. He matches up well to a 15th level hunter ranger with quite a few magic items.

Or perhaps Chris Perkins noticed what the rest of us have done: how the Ranger's best features work badly for a two-weapon fighting melee character?

How so.

You can't...you can never outrun the Gary Stu that is Drizzt.

No he isn't, he's a character in a book that has no need to conform to rules.

Am I the only one who can't see a link to the character sheet...?

ENW lost months of posts for some reason, so not surprised there is a few glitches! Most threads/posts since May or July are gone.
