[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 259495, member: 5834"] [b]Re[/b] I haven't read the book about the battle for Mithral Hall. I still think seasoned adventurers know well how to battle drow. I think a lvl 12 party would be able to take a drow patrol, though they might have to retreat when reinforcements are called. I believe you sorely underestimate dwarves to think that they have little experience fighting drow. I am quite sure that an army of dwarves having battled every creature in the Underdark would know how to take on a drow incursion. Dwarves would have much better arms and armor than elves for one. They would shrug off the sleep poison of the drow. Their frontline army would probably be wearing armor that would help them resist battle magics such as fireball. Dwarves are no push overs. They are some of the fiercest, well-equipped enemies any race could hope to go against. A dwarf warrior is worth a drow warrior or two anyday of the weak. The priestly magic of the dwarven gods would match that of the drow gods any day of the week. The only advantage the drow would have is their sorcerous magic.
