[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6682522, member: 37579"] Well, Elminster is an issue. But, often enough that's easy to explain as "he's dealing with an entirely different world-spanning plot" or "he's keeping his evil equals and other forces from getting involved". Drizzt is different. His statblocks portray him as a high level hero, but he's really not. Most of what he does is local, small stuff in frozen corner of the world. He doesn't really do Realmshaking. But, really, think of it like comic books. Elminster is totally Superman. And Drizzt is Batman, all broody and dark and confined to his own little corner. They can do some amazing things. But it's not like they're involved in every single world-spanning plot or story that threatens to destroy the world. Yeah, they're in the crossovers. But there's still lots of room for other heroes to save the day all on their own with no other heroes helping or even realizing. Sometimes even the Doom Patrol saves the world. [/QUOTE]
