[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6693831, member: 15700"] I guess. Depends on who you ask. For example, I think Elminster, Strahd, or Raistlin are probably more iconic, but that's gonna be because of when I started playing and what types of campaigns I play. I guess he probably is recently, because the big push with him all over the place. Which sort of answers your first part. He's all over the place. And he's a Mary Sue to boot. When Crystal Shard came out, he wasn't any more special than Bruenor or Wulfgar, but suddenly all the EMO goths of the late 80s fell in love with him and thus everything became about Drizzt. He was the most important personality, always broody and angsty, all the women wanted him (even the enemies) and all the men wanted to be like him, and no matter what happened, he always survived. Unkillable. Textbook Mary Sue. How much of that is Salvatore making him one based on his own opinions, or because the fans demanded it I don't know. Yep, earlier. When specialization rules and drow playable race showed up in AD&D Unearthed Arcana. I've seen quite a few Drizzt clones myself. [/QUOTE]
