[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5374984, member: 18701"] So now we're talking about an [I]optimal[/I] or not build as being the reasons to call it a Drizzt clone? :confused: Yer all over the place man. :lol: First you say it's because of how they roleplay the PC. Then you say it's cause he's good aligned. Now yer saying that if the player isn't building an optimal build then he's obviously just trying to play a Drizzt clone? Not everyone cares if they are building an optimal build or not. Also, there is such a thing as someone being inspired by a character and using that as a sort of template for their own character. It doesn't mean they are trying to make a clone. Anyway, I've tried to explain my point and I think I've done an ok job doing it. We're just going around in circles here and I feel I'm debating some very nit picky points with people who just want to hate on Drizzt for the chance to [I]prove[/I] that we're idiots for liking the character. I don't think there is anything wrong with being inspired by a "template" and borrowing from it, plenty of gamers do it all the time. If you didn't like my examples, then come up with some better ones, cause you can't possibly think I'm wrong about that. That's all I'm getting at. Heck, when people come here asking for ideas for creating a new PC, the first thing people will say is, "Think about a character you like from a movie or book, and use that as a basis for your PC." So, I think I'm done arguing about the Drizzt cloning. :) [/QUOTE]
