(Disintegrating is one way, plain unholy weapons are another, drow-only weapons a third.) I do not find it sound reasoning at all that the very intelligent drow would fabricate weapons that could easily be used against them by surface dwellers.And if I have problems with unbalancing items or weapons I simply tell the players that, and I expect them to give me a hand in correcting such a situation. I do not expect them to try to devise ways of getting ahold and keeping such unbalancing weapons.Sometimes I think simple DM to player communication to solve issues in a game seems to be an unheard of concept, since most "solutions" revolve around in-character actions. What is so difficult with saying: "Look guys, I know I did not think about the bag of holding, my fault, but if you keep those weapons you unbalance the campaign. Please, be reasonable." You can always add: "If you insist, then someone else should DM, the added hassle of dealing with the stuff is too much for me." or "If not, I can always send in a high-level drow raiding party to recover their sacred weapons, but I'd rather not use to such drastic, TPKing measures."(Does anyone really expect that a player can "beat" a DM that has a backbone, a little imagination and a good grasp on his campaign world? Sometimes the Cow from Space takes the form of the Drow from the Dark.)</blockquote>
