Yeah, I know about the combat style etc. It's not that I don't know the rules or something (been playing D&D for over 7 years now), but it's the first time we play savage species and try to follow the rules (normally we dont care about the rules that much)'
And...the player is new (well, he's in the group for a year and a half now) and he has just read the Drizzt-books. His 'dream' was to play his own Drizzt-like guy. But his character is not a Drizzt-copy or something.
And if he wants to play a drow ranger...then he plays a drow ranger. In th end it's all about having fun.
