[QUOTE="Weiley31, post: 8018202, member: 7017196"] I have an Half-Elf Warblade(Battle Master) who is "not quite fond" of Drow to the point that he may give glares to any Drow in the vicinity and if engaged in combat against Drow, will usually kill them on sight. Now, this is not mostly due to a fantastical racism towards them. It stemmed from the fact that the female Elven Warblade, who taught him the Iron Heart Discipline and made him into a Warblade, had a blood grudge against the Drow because they killed her lover. Therefore, whenever she took in students/disciples as Warblades, she would take them on raiding trips in the Underdark and pretty much would have her disciples bring her Drow heads to gain recognition and advance in rank in her own eyes. This was the rite of passage for her Martial School. Plus the Underdark, being the Underdark, would weed out those who weren't quite up to being Warblades. Therefore, her training style and these raids "life or death" nature got heavily ingrained into him. So far all the the Drow that he and the party encountered in the one Campaign have been dead set on killing the Battle Master and the party. So all the Drows killed in the campaign so far have been in defense. Amazingly the Battle Master voted to spare the life of a Drow prisoner they had captured but they pretty much mercy killed him because the Drow Prisoner knew he was dead anyway after revealing information to the party. [I]The Drow Prisoner's superiors wouldn't tolerate such a thing and would have killed him for doing that, but in a much more painful/disturbing way. Poor guy was literlly in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.[/I] [/QUOTE]
