I have -never- liked that drow equipment would disintegrate, or lose it's potency upon contact with sunlight and/or taken away from 'mysterious underdark eminations'.  In my oppinion it is lame, and more over, it is bad world building.Taking a few plusses out of the equipment isn't going to totally defang the drow.  They've still got wacky spell-like abilities, buckets of poison, thralls, more exotic weapons than you can shake a stick at, and usually pack more spell-casting than an entire conga line of Thayvians.When I DM, drow gear is normal masterwork or exotic material or enchanted stuff, that would be appropriate to their occupation.  Unholy longsword for the matriarch's bodyguard? You betcha!  Figurine that radiates Desecrate? Put that bad boy on the priestess.  NPCs use whatever resources they have available, including expendables, as they see fit.  A player that whines about me 'shafting' them because a monster is using 'their treasure' gets soundly slapped upside the head.  Heads up! I'm a frickin' DM! I control the entire world.  Do you really think it's that much of a stress to provide your characters with appropriate loot to their level?</blockquote>
