[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 1182532, member: 4134"] Only that the drow are almost always in the Night Below and so practically never have that drawback. It's the same as giving elves weapons with "sunsteel" - a steel that costs +1 and gives +2 when not in the Underdark. I take 10, thank you very much. No, the Player - assuming it is a normal Character who is only down there because of a single, short mission - gets nothing. He can't take the weapon with him and use it, he can't take it with him and sell it. So he can use that only for a very short while. And finding a friendly merchant in the Underdark is tricky, so he probably can't sell it here. And there's another point that hasn't been considered: For an Underdark Campaign, practically gives drow characters at least 10.000 gp in magic stuff for free (pay 8000 for a weapon that is, as far as you're concerned, +3 and worth 18000.) and get +3 weapons really early. It bears comparison to the Ring of the Darkhidden - that one is seriously overpowered in an Underdark Only campaign. So one way or the other, this screws up - in one case, big time. No. They need, say, a tenday's supply of that oil, maybe less, depending on how long they're taking to try to kill the PC's and die in the process. The players - if they chose to use that item, would need a decade's supply of that oil. [/QUOTE]
