[QUOTE="Dunamin, post: 4494601, member: 57529"] Why is it so important "how much" drow are evil? Can't we just place them as "usually evil" and be done with it? If you leave things open, DMs have more room to mold their own take for their own adventures. Halford's take is obviously very evil, ie. "Forgotten Realms drow evil". That's fine with me. We can also have them very lightly evil, to provide easier background for those interested in playing non-evil drow PCs. That's fine with me too. It’s not terribly important to me which route is taken, but if people are very divided on this topic I suggest we leave it loosely defined. Keep in mind, we're just talking about the rough overall picture here - you can have drow societies that are more or less like the norm for their race. I would imagine that the Dauntonian drows that are associated with the Temple on average are less so, while those living in a semi-classic Underdark domain on average are more so. So if a player wants to play Drizzt-like he can use the former, and if he wants utter villainy he can use the latter. Anything in between could come from either background or a different drow society altogether (or have grown up in a non-drow society). [/QUOTE]
