[QUOTE="MattW, post: 8183163, member: 7029432"] I see an obvious problem [B][/B] If there's an easy/cheap solution, [I][B]ALL [/B][/I]of the Drow would be using it and they'd be conquering the "sunlit lands" in your world. If you really need a solution to the problem, I'd suggest that there [I]might [/I]be something legendary or expensive that would allow Drow to operate in full daylight and that you could run an adventure that would allow the PC to find this item. Of course, he'd then become a target for every other Drow .... "Give me that X, or die, you Traitor! I...er ....WE need it to conquer the world." Possible solutions (whether these would be magical or mundane is up to you) 1. Eye drops made from obscure mushrooms that only grow in a specific cave. These are both poisonous and addictive - but they do cause the eyes to be less sensitive to light. Consult your alchemist for a list of potential side effects. He's almost certainly got some other drugs that will help! Yes, those are ALSO expensive.... 2. Snow goggles made from exquisitely crafted jewels and precious metals. Peripheral vision would be poor and it would be easier to surprise and ambush the wearer . Which could be a problem if another Drow is trying to steal the goggles.. 3. A helmet that includes a "one way mirror" face shield (like Cobra Commander). This is really disturbing to encounter and should reduce all interpersonal skills. It's also rather fragile. Let's hope nobody hits you in the face. That could be messy! [/QUOTE]
