Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zelda Themelin" data-source="post: 5949684" data-attributes="member: 167">Evil sociates are fine what comes to rpg and other works of imagination.That said, drow were never my favourite. It relates to fact it's more elf-love, and I have kinda been anti-elf since I read Forgotten Realm elves. For some reason elf-like sub-races/aliens seems to be common choice when doing "evil beautiful" race. I kinda liked Gazetter's shadow elves. There is also too much spider love and the fact that their powerful magic weapons that dissintigrate when you take them to sunlight (blatant balancing it against players),  Also their "goddess" was weakling with only 66 hp. Also I never got why they weren't pale skinned but have to have dark skin. I know there was story to that, but I don't think it was good enough. I would have flavored it differently.Have used drow in some undermountain games years back. Work fine as enemies but players were really annoyed how loot from them worked. I prefer to use mindflayers instead, or aboleths.There is no such thing as good mindflyer either. For drow they made whole good god too. That was kinda final thing that ruined them. And I used to have this dm/player who had thing for "lesbian, sadistic, evil, megalomaniac, perverted elfs" or goddesess or spell-casters. there were lot of drow in those games, and it kinda sucked. He was really creative and good dm as long as you kept him off his poisons.So drow are kinda "blah". I am hoping to see "pretty" bad guy race that is not somehow elven-like.</blockquote>
