[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7918490, member: 6716779"] In 25 years of D&D I have made one Drow PC and never played it back in the late 90s. I normally don't allow them but recently noticed that people don't chose them anyway. Now assuming I did play one I think I would play a Rogue either CN or N. More Han Solo in the cantina than Drizzt. If the DM says no or no evil races I wouldn't bother. Drizzt was around level 15 when he got to the surface. However his reception in Sojourn is basically the struggles of his heros journey. So how about level 1? Note I'll make the following assumptions. 1. It's ye olde Lolthites Drow a'la Greyhawk/FR. 2. You were raised in that culture is not adopted as a baby by adventurer's. The obvious one is you have a crappy background and you were sold as a slave (probably male) or otherwise got taken to the surface by someone else. Survivor of a raid doesn't really cut it when you look at the average CR 5 Drow warrior. Being banished by an older sibling via teleport is another option or perhaps been seen as disposable spy. Being a spy whether willing or unwilling however doesn't exactly help out the kill on sight thing Drow tend to have. Luck sacking your way through the underdark is a bit of a cop out as well espicially if you know common. FR you have the option of raised by Elistraee but your knowledge of the Drow us second hand. So if I were to play one I would make sure you would have diplomat type skills. Reason is I have found a very narrow build that only a Drow qualifies for. It's hypothetical and it's not good as such but Dex based melee sorcerer/cleric in a domain without martial weapons. Any other Dex and charisma races with rapiers as a racial weapon? [/QUOTE]
