Drizzt's Stats

[Leopold]

20/20 twinkie/munchkin

can't do epic as it's not SRD

 

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

He's epic, as is his "friend" Artemis.

Nobody can make a song with their swords unless they're epic. Furthermore, he and Artemis even have some epic feats (eg Epic Dodge). Drizzt might have Devastating Critical as well.

Characters of their level can't afford Charon and those other magic items, either. I don't know why there is only one epic non-spellcaster mentioned in FRCS (and he was multiclassed, 7 levels of wizard).

 

[Ruvion]

Maybe it is hard to reach epic levels with swords and brawn alone when you are entrenched in a magic rich world of FR.

 

[Victim]

Actually, based on the enemies he's defeated, those stats seem pretty reasonable. He has lots of trouble with a Balor, as one would expect with those stats. A gimpy elven fighter devises a trick that would have killed him without outside help. Giants still pose some threat to him. He kind of needs weapon finess though.

The different wealth levels for NPCs and PCs explain most of his weaknesses. For special, highly active NPCs, PC wealth might be appropriate but risky if the PCs kill the character and take his stuff.

Also, I think the stats aren't exactly up to date from some of the more recent books. I don't think Entreri is given his artifact class sword for example. The stats also only use FRCS and core books. If you use additional splat books, NPCs should be given appropriate feats and prestige classes from those books, if they're going to be worth the trouble. Drizzt could use Tempest or some of the MotW 2 weapon feats.

 

[Oni]

I don't know why there is only one epic non-spellcaster mentioned in FRCS (and he was multiclassed, 7 levels of wizard).

Well I think that fact that only 4 of the 11 base classes don't cast spells along with the fact that characters with those classes face significant penalties as they age as opposed to classes less dependent on their physical abilities explains a great deal of that.

 

[mmu1]

I don't think there's anything unreasonable about a 10th level party taking out a 16th level fighter-type.

Of course, the only way it'd be easy is if the spellcasters were fully twinked-out with Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration... That SR 27 wouldn't exactly be easy to beat for an average 10th level caster.

 

[Victim]

The SR is funny, because in the books he seems to have lost all his drow abilities except darkness and darkvision. But any caster that tip scales of a conflict with indirect spells has problems anyway.

I didn't read all the Drizzt books, so maybe I missed some of the later happenings, but he used faerie fire several times in the books I read (first two trilogies).

I'm not the most reliable source (fuzzy memory), but I think it's been a while since he has used it at all and when he does it not often or much, but darkness makes a fairly egular appearance.
