D&D 5E (2024) New Drizzt's Daughter Audiobook Betwixt Two Worlds

[Zardnaar]

Drizzt has had ranger, fighter, and barbarian levels as far back as his 3rd Ed stat block of n the FRCS, and I’m pretty sure the later books had him becoming a monk too. He’s long since divorced himself enough from what a d&d game is actually like that it’s pretty much impossible to represent him with the d&d rules any more.

11 fighter, Barbarian 1, Monk 4/Ranger 4.

Probably let him swap Ranger and fighter levels like 2E. He's a DM special at this point with some class abilities on an NPC.

PC Drizzt clone lots of fighter levels eg 16, 4 barbarian.

If my memory doesn't fail the FR wiki tells Catie Bree and (shorter-life) company were reincarnated.

If Drizzt's daughter becomes a popular character, that should be a good sign.

Maybe Drizz's multiclass was affected by the spellplague.

In an alternate universe/parallel world Drizz and one of his children are warblade, Cattie Bree reincarnated as drow, and one daughter is a Elistree crusader.

I still want the daughter to be a Fey Wanderer Ranger, I just think that would maintain that connection between Father and Daughter, but give her her own unique spin on it, less dark and more bright and whimsical. Plus it suits her appearance more which seems to have more of a fey quality to it.

Half Elf (Drow).

Not in 5.5.

Still backwards compatible unless the DM wants to be a hardcase for the Bree player in this campaign!

Honestly, in 5e there's probably no reason for Drizzt to have any ranger levels at all any more. He originated back in 2e days when that was really the only way for a warrior class to be properly sneaky and wilderness-wise, but a regular fighter with the right set of proficiencies can do that perfectly well now. He's never really done the spellcasting thing, and his animal companion is a magic item.

(no comment on the implications this has for the entire Ranger class in the broader sense, of course! )

to be fair I don't think Drizzt needed to be a ranger, he doesn't really cast ranger spells so a fighter would have been fine... so I say make her a bladepact warlock that never casts anything...

Made sense in 1E/2E when Rangers where just better Fighters more or less.

Well he was a fighter they swapped into a ranger.

Drizzt originated as a 1E Ranger. Per the rules in the AD&D Players Handbook and Unearthed Arcana supplement.

The Crystal Shard was published in 1988, a year before 2E debuted, and Bob Salvatore had an editorial mandate for the characters to conform to then-current AD&D rules.

The two weapon fighting ability was inherent to Drow as seen in prior modules and the Field Folio, but official for the PC race as detailed in Unearthed Arcana.

Rangers don't get spells until 8th level in 1E, and I'm certain that as originally depicted he was intended to be under 8th level, so him not using any Druid or M-U spells (at least in the early novels, I only read the first seven or so back in the day) is consistent.

I'm pretty sure they gave him a few spells by the time he got his first official writeup (in the Forgotten Realms: Hall of Heroes supplement, as I recall), but by then they were already starting to bend the rules for him, giving him special unique critical rules, at least. My copy of the book is at home, though.

Yeah he does in write ups but he never uses them in the books. And thanks to 5E everything he does and knows we can get rid of Ranger levels. Naturing loving (backgrounds and skills) duel wielding fighter with his magic item panther.

I was referring to his stats in 2E.

He was a level 15 or 16 ranger iirc in brackets formerly 18 fighter. They also gave him a 3% chance to auto kill whatever he was fighting iirc.

 

[LuisCarlos17f]

The FR says in 3ed he was 10 warrior, 1 barbarian and 5 ranger.

Drizzt Do'Urden

Drizzt Do'Urden (pronounced: /drɪst doʊˈʌrdɛn/ drist doh-URR-den[19] or: /ˈdrɪzɪt doʊˈʌrdʌn/ DRIHZ-it doh-URR-dun[10]), also called Drizzt Daermon N'a'shezbaernon, was a male drow ranger. He was an atypical drow who had forsaken both the evil ways of his people and their home in the Underdark...
