BEAN THE CAT said:...While I understand what you are saying, it defies any sort of logic. If the Drow (or any other "mid-ranged monster", has an army of, well hell- lets face it "Super-soldiers" why would they bother with an army of minions at all? Hell if the average drow is worth 11 of the enemie, they could conqurer the world in a couple of days...A hand ful of scrappy hero's that gets in the way (assumeing they are level appropriate) would be mowed down as well...It doesn't make sense...Oh well, maybe thats why I always eventually abandon D&D (again). The whole "Level" thing just doesn't work for me....
On the contrary, the whole army thing doesnt work unless you remove drow nature, their history, their culture, their belief and value system (the same could be said in varying ways for other powerful humanoid like examples). Inevitably, you run into that age old caveat "Power corrupts". The Kuoa Toa are the Drow of the sea with a whole different set of problems associated with a very different culture.
A Drow sized army on an even playing field would, and should, whipe the floor with the same sized human army. I dont see the problem there.
