[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5061160, member: 15538"] This was not a test to determine if drow can fly. The assertion was made that the drow would not be able to hit anything of appropriate CR, which was wrong, and that attacking defensively would make them unable to hit anything, also wrong. I used basic numbers... neither the drow nor the dragon are buffed. I am not interested in drawing out an imaginary combat between the dragon and the drow plus three other characters who may or may not be drow swashbucklers, where the dragon has apparently had three rounds to buff itself and is flying and is equipped with numerous caster items as though it were an NPC sorcerer and the drow is not benefitting from any consummable items out of a several thousand gp budget that has not yet been spent etc. etc. The argument is a strawman. Summary: drow has +21 to hit, "typical" AC for CR 13 creature is 26. Damage is fine. AC is fine. Will is a little weak, but SR helps with that, except against glitterdust and non-spell effects like fearsome presence. The drow is fine. [/QUOTE]
