D&D 5E Out of the Abyss - No Drizzt afterall?

[Sacrosanct]

Dang. Well there goes my plan of secretly joining the demons and betraying Drizzt, turning him over to the demon lords or a long and painful death with a side dish of reaching emotional closure myself

 

[Cristian Andreu]

It seems that, for now, he has drizzappeared; he must be elfwhere.

 

[Psikerlord#]

He only shows up on one of the random encounter tables. Very small percentage chance of that happening. That's it. No need for him to show up at all.

That would be awesome if true, haha!

 

[Evandis]

It's true, it's on page 28.

Spoiler below:

There is a 25% chance that a gas spore contains a fragmented memory of a beholder and there is a 25% chance that this fragment is of a drow ranger with two gleaming scimitars and a quadrupedal black beast.

Noooo!!! I wanted to hate!!!!!

 

[Jester David]

Unsurprisingly, the staff at WotC and Green Ronin actually knows what they're doing and isn't going to make the party the sidekicks of an established character.

 

[Queer Venger]

Wow, what's with all the hate? He is the most iconic character in D&D history. This is pretty much a fact.

Because as DMs we are sick of seeing a Drizzt clone in every campaign we run. Or the people who insist on playing Drizzt himself. We can love the character in the book, we don't need 10 of him running around in our games. Fanboyism is annoying.

Yeah but no need to put the hate on the guy himself. Anyway does he get stats in the book. Also can I have the slight spoiler of his CR if he does have stats and the CR's of the Demon Lords from weakest to strongest..

He gets nothing. He is not part of the story at all.
