[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 259602, member: 525"] There are such a thing as female drow commoners. Read your books again. Only women from NOBLE houses are automatically trained as clerics. Second Clan Battlehammer (if you read the books) have just recently reclaimed the Halls from the occupying Drueger. This means the average dwarf there is not zero level. Third, your Chaotic Evil drow sure work well together. Add a few dozen stabs in the back as one drow kills another at the right moment and you quickly realize why they will never well together in a large scale army. Lolth cares not when this happens. Hell she happily let her most powerful Matron Mother ever get killed by a mere Dwarf. Fourth, dwarves in 2E just oozed magic resistance beyond what they have in 3E the same with poison. In fact when you actually read the rules you will notice that drow sleep poison gets no super negative to saves. So all those times in the book where a Dwarf falls asleep from one little dart hit is not very likely at all. The average dwarf without levels walks around with a +2 or +3 to his poison save. Fifth, as was shown in a much earlier book the very stone walls of Mithril Hall were magic resistant. At one point a mage tried to magically force open the front door of Mithral Hall. The spell was reflected off with no effect at all. So all those mages are going to accomplish much less than you suggest. [/QUOTE]
