[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5382015, member: 51930"] Wait: Daughter of the Drow series. Minor FR character, but also had a series of books. Female, MU/fighter. Ran away from Drizzt's enemy house, Baenre, I believe, took up with a Barbarian on the surface, and the witches of Rashemen. So it's been done like this, and apparently didn't work. I think we'd need to redefine the drow before getting to the individual character. Drizzt is a type more than a drow, perhaps, in that he's the bad guy gone good. Also: an earlier point, I'd like to say that Raistlin is a rip off of Elric of Melnibonay, who is the quintessential jerk-mage. In fact, he's the halfway point between Raistlin and Drizzt, being a swordsman who's a jerk mage, and wields a deadly blade (in his case Stormbringer, the devourerer of souls). If we're going to make a different drow archetype, we need to find an existing awesome existing character and water it down with D&D-isms. Therefore I suggest we rip off Charles Dickens and Xena Warrior Princess: Scrooge with boobs. She also loves vampires, who haunt her nights because of her checkered past as a rogue swindler. Her Tru Luv can be called Edvard. Somehow as a drow she's the only way he can walk in the sunlight. Her power is healing shadows for lonely undead or something. [/QUOTE]
