[QUOTE="MasterTrancer, post: 6279086, member: 6762055"] Since I've played AD&D mostly in Planescape (yes, I'm a bit rusty...), I have a rather peculiar view on deities, and I ask you to don't mind much my next question, which is... Is Lolth (or Lloth, whichever form you prefer) a FR-specific goddess (so the curse derived from the war with the Seldarine) or has to be considered a more "generic" one? I know it's difficult to say with such an iconic pillar, but answering it could lead to different outcomes for the OP. Option 1 - Lolth is not tied to FR: Driders can be cursed drows in FR, and maybe blessed in other planes; for planehopping parties this can also lead to nasty scenarios ("Look, driders here as well! It's alone, let's hunt him!" "Oh, $**t! There's an entire host of them, with drow in support! How did it happen?"), or something else non-combat related, though with nice potential. It can work, but still needs a more detailed rationale (not for the goddess actions, but for the drows). Option 2 - Lolth is tied to FR: Driders shouldn't appear that much outside the Realms...and maybe not even the drows! ...ok, on a second thought, I don't like option 2 much, though my opening question still holds.
