Message: <blockquote data-quote="JacktheRabbit" data-source="post: 261660" data-attributes="member: 525">I say again the drow you describe are not Book Drow. The Drow you describe would not even exist in houses since it would serve them no purpose.Your Drow would never engage in House to House fighting. Your Drow would never murder an elder brother or sister to raise in rank.So I ask what is the point? We could talk about this till the end of time but it would still solve nothing. The Drow you describe are so over the top in ever category that it becomes meaningless.Debating this makes as much sense as me starting a thread about how my home brew version of DL Gully Dwarves were so bad ass that epic characters would run in terror and beg to fight entire tribes of Tarrasques instead.Does that make them cool and tough? No it makes me a rather boring power gamer for a DM who can't do anything better than throw outrageously overpowered and overequiped munchkin foes at my players.Your biggest arguement seems to be that the only thing that holds back the Drow are their chaotic nature. Well duhhh!!! That is like saying naked drow would be good at hiding in snow if not for their black skin. Their chaotic nature is at the very core of their being. It is probably what drove them into the initial war with the surface elves. That chaotic nature explains just about every powerful aspect of Drow society. The lack of trust and predictability forces Drow to be the ultimate survivors. IF they were not always looking over their shoulders for the assassins blade they would not be as powerful individually as they are because they would not have the drive to be. So if you let your Drow have none of their standard chaotic nature and work perfectly together then you would have to take away all those levels of experience and nasty magic items created purely BECAUSE they do not trust each other.</blockquote>
