My lover is a stoic dual-wielding drow ranger.Luckily, I've had no contact with people who want to play drow as PCs.Kinda, but they can still be cool sometimes.No, absolutely not 'cool'. They're not supposed to be cool, they're supposed to be terrifying and sinister.Oh yes. Enough already!No one can deny that drow are overexposed, and anyone who hasn't been drowed out a little either hasn't been paying attention or is sick in the head; but what's good about them remains untouched, and their next use might always be a good one.What's a drow?Sometimes I wish.This is fantasy, not science fiction or sim anthropology. Fantasy races are a storytelling technique to exemplify human traits and states of being, not real species or ethnic groups that just happen to be fictional. If that were so, accusations that Tolkien and other strands of the fantasy tradition were severely racist to their core would be correct.</blockquote>
