Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sacrosanct" data-source="post: 6695172" data-attributes="member: 15700">No, unless the player specifically has that goal.  Drizzt is built to be min/maxed, between double weapon spec and drow abilities; his core attributes are all about min/maxing.  Not necessarily true with the others.This is just going to have to be a difference in anecdotal experiences then.  I have people who play barbarians, but you don't know if it's supposed to be a conan clone, Krull clone, or Fafhrd clone.  Most aren't clones, but general similarities.  Drizzt is pretty specific.  But either way, your anecdotal experience and my anecdotal experience don't really matter.  What is objectively true when D&D is considered, is that Drizzt appears much more frequently than any of those you mention.  And not by a small amount.  I'd say do a google search, but I don't want to scar your brain by the sheer amount of fanfic that's out there for Drizzt that isn't out there for Conan, Gandalf, or Merlin.It's cool to hate on DRizzt!  Wow, I never knew.  I'm so glad I'm one of the cool kids now....Or more likely, I'm tired of seeing him pop up everytime I turn around in D&D for the past 30 years.  He's one of the worst Gary Stu's out there, and he's nearly unavoidable.  One can't even escape him with current D&D products.  In fact, WotC is doubling down on the DRizzt overload.  Your statement makes no sense at all because there's literally 30 years of substance myself and others have been giving you as to reasons why we're sick and tired of him.  Christ, he's been in over 30 novels, and that's not counting video games, magazines, or adventures.  So either you're intentionally ignoring all of that, or you're being intellectually dishonest to make a jab at people who don't like him by saying there's no valid reason to be tired of him.FWIW, I don't blame Salvatore at all. DRizzt was only supposed to be a sidekick to Wulfgar, but gamers fell in love with him (for reasons I mentioned earlier).</blockquote>
