In regards to what is listed as the favored class for drow males in the books, it doesn't matter what levels drow end up taking in your game or mine, because that isn't really the point. If you take a look at the various NPC drow to be found, less than 10% of the males, if even that many, have any levels in wizard what-so-ever. Most are fighters, though you will occassionally run into a freaky half-dragon/half-drow vampire, or something like that.The point is that the material conflicts with itself. It doesn't add up. In one book it says that the favored class of drow males is wizard. Now, grab up every book you can find from Wizard's and you'll find that more than 90% of those male drow never even have a single level of wizard. City of the Spider Queen is the best example I can think of right now.I do, however, see your point about drow males multiclassing as fighter/wizards, but it's still strange how that rarely ever happens.But, here's another thing to consider. As a young drow, if you show promise as a wizard, you become a wizard or risk having your throat cut. Why aren't there more wizard's around? Honestly, I can somewhat understand that the authors were going for the same magical stereotype as the majority of surface elves, but it still doesn't help it make any more sense.I don't what you think I'm saying you're wrong either. This is just something I've been wondering about for some time now.Well, I agree, but that isn't the crux of my argument either. You don't even see drow with wizard levels that often at all, not even when multiclassed. Heck, even Jezz the Lame from The Dalelands is a multiclass rogue, but he's a sorcerer for pete's sake. Like I said. Wierd.</blockquote>
