[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 3767116, member: 18"] Drizzt has never really been a problem, and I'm not sure that anyone in this thread is really complaining about him beyond "Drizzt is extremely lame". He's a high-ish level (but not epic-level, afaik) Ranger, sometimes multiclassed, with some slightly munchkin magical items, one of which I'm sure will be rendered more as a "cohort" than a magical item, these days. As there's only one of him, and last I checked, he ain't even level 20, and he ain't a wizzzzzzzzzard, nor Chosen, nor anything else horrible, he's just a minor annoyance. Most parties in the mid-late teen levels and beyond cound beat him up and take his stuff, and he's not able to take on things that they ARE able to take on. That's fine with me. He's a div but he doesn't cause problems beyond making people want to make Drow PCs (even me, once, sniff, I blame being thirteen!). Elminister could go two ways and easily stop causing trouble: 1) He could have lost all or most of his powers in the "spellplague", and no longer be a "chosen" of Mystra - This is the "Dumbledore" route, basically. He should be dead of old age if it's 100 years, but eh... If he's physically crippled, particularly by old age (which isn't easily curable ), that could help. 2) He could have ascended as some kind of demigod. This also takes him "out of the picture", and would be the most efficient way to be rid of him. Plus he could indulge his appetites in a Zeus-like fashion... best not to think of that... If, though, we hear: 1) The Seven Sisters 2) Various high ranking Harper-types 3) The Simbul 4) Assorted other chosen of Mystra 5) The Obaskyr family line 6) That filthy spellfire witch 7) Various Knights of Myth Drannor And so on are all still alive and well, then, yeah, well, it's pretty much buggered, isn't it? I anxiously await further developments. [/QUOTE]
