Driz'zt appeared in print almost a full year before the 2e PHB was published. In the 1e rules, Rangers had no special affinity for two weapon fighting, and nothing in the class made Rangers more likely to use this combat option than anyone else.In point of fact, under the post-UA 1e AD&D rules, the Ranger was required to be an archer (forced proficiency in a bow or light crossbow), and had a system of other forced proficiencies than aimed the class more or less away from the two weapon fighting version that was set forth in the 2e PHB.Driz'zt predates the two weapon fighting Ranger by a significant time span. Saying that the archetype Ranger was a two weapon fighting character before Driz'zt found his way in to print is just ignorant.</blockquote>
