[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6695227, member: 22779"] So, now anyone who plays a ranger is min/maxing? After all, rangers have had two weapons standard as a class ability since 1988. So, Drizzt is an incredibly popular genre character that people love... Really? Everywhere in the past 30 years? I've got a stack of Forgotten Realms material dating back to 2e that would like to disagree with you. According to wikipedia, all 31 Drizzt novels have hit the NYT best seller list. Every single one. Why on earth would WOTC NOT double down on that? Obviously there's some reason that he's popular. You don't get to write that many successful novels about a character unless you're doing something right. But as far as table top material goes? He rarely features. What module has Drizzt as an NPC? How many modules? What sourcebook talks about Drizzt? How many sourcebooks, out of the hundreds for Forgotten Realms, feature him? Magazines? You mean, comic books featuring him? Other than that, what magazines? How hard is it to just ignore it? He's not really part of the Realms RPG material to any large extent. Other than recently, you almost never heard of Drizzt connected to the game. There are what, a couple of hundred FR novels out there? So, maybe 10% feature Drizzt? Big fat hairy deal. [/QUOTE]
