[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 6694430, member: 6785785"] I was mostly kidding. I personally don't mind Driz'zt. I've read my fair share of the books, and they can be fun entertainment. I don't really consider him a Mary Sue so much as just the main character of the series. I've never had anyone try to mimic him with a PC, though, so I can see how that would be annoying. But I'd blame the player for that, not the fictional character. I've had two drow PCs in my game over the years, both by the same player, one was a wizard and the other was a fighter. Only resemblance between either of them and Driz'zt was that the fighter fled the underdark to live on the surface. Drow overall can still be perfectly fun as villains because the main society that has been depicted for them is just so twisted and cruel. My PCs just had a visit to the Vaukt of the Drow and it was a fun part of the adventure. You're right that they've scaled it back a bit with how overpowered they are, and I think that's good. There was just no need for some of that stuff. [/QUOTE]
