[QUOTE="Alek, post: 3253484, member: 42837"] It's just as I thought. That really doesn't explain it at all, and assumes a huge amount in my opinion. Some of the things being assumed are: That an adventurer/commoner setting foot inside the tavern would somehow automatically know that the drow present are of a different planar origin. That said adventurer/commoner would NOT run to the town guard. Just like they supposedly would when threatened with such terrifying things as a woman with cat ears and a tail. That Oerth drow cannot be characters. Just like how demons, dragons, what have you cannot be characters. "Trying to play them violates basic stipulations of the setting and so they are not allowed." Right. That [I]evil[/I] drow are violently allergic to taverns.* The last time I checked, wholly evil and destructive characters run rampant in the CRT and surrounding areas, some of them have even been Faerunian drow. It would be great to assume that the supposed "concerned individuals" who would raise a stink about restricted characters are omniscient, and would know of the planar origin of any drow, and would thus, not raise the stink. However those individuals are often said to be townfolk/adventurers/travelers from surrounding areas, and are most likely not all gods. Lets say one did run to the guard, as they undoubtedly would have upon seeing ANY drow. (taking into account the lack of omniscience) Now, is the guard going to suddenly gain an understanding of extra planar travel and species, and come equipped to spot them, and go "Ohhhh thats just an Aber-Toril Drow! Never mind guys, lets go get us some Ale!" Tell me if I'm completely off the mark here. This is how it looks to me though. Oerth drow cannot be here because they are wholly evil. Faerunian drow can be here because they have the potential not to be wholly evil. Now... Faerunian drow are indistinguishable from Oerth drow at a glance. Characters of races that are wholly and magically evil (demons, devils, setting chromatic dragons) are allowed, as long as they are disguised. Except Oerth drow. Huh? *this is a joke. [/QUOTE]
