In Sojourn Drizzt was reconnected to meet the 1E rules, not the 2E rules.  The conversation I mentioned - noting a hand axe and a dirk in the off hand - references 1E rules, as does his 2-weapon fighting style.  There is no such distinction in 2E.  What you are missing is 1E was more popular than 2E and being played well into the early 90s.  Salvatore was writing Sojourn on 1E rules as 2E was brand new, not popular and not out before he started writing it and still incomplete when he finished.2. I have read the book.  Drizzt was one of the the primary characters in the Crystal Shard, honestly THE primary character.  Drizzt writes monologs in the book of his thoughts, and is the only character to do so.  Part of the book is him reflecting and telling the readers his internal thoughts on life.   I don't know what you mean that he was a sidekick.  It was republished under the title "Legend of Drizzt" which would be terribly misleading if he was not a main character.  Further of all the main characters, his  story was the deepest, focusing on not being accepted except first by the child Cattie Brie.3. Cook did make the 2nd edition, and you have him saying he does not know where the idea for a dual wielding Ranger came from.  He was also soliciting inputs from fans in dragon magazine, to include after publication of C.S.While I am at it, I will  note Rangers became bowmen not due to unearthed Arcana but due to an Archer class published in Dragon Magazine, which also included a subclass of "Archer-Ranger".  This connection to the Ranger was carried forward into unearthed Arcana.</blockquote>
