[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 75700, member: 307"] [B][/b] You need to work on your D&D history. UA statted Drow with two weapon fighting because it was a racial trait given to them in their original write up in the GDQ series and the Fiend Folio. For Drow, fighting with two weapons was intended to replace the "+1 with bow and sword" ability surface elves had. It wasn't "no apparent reason", it was that was how Gygax had put the Drow together when he created them for the GDQ series. [b][/b] This is pure conjecture on your part and highly dubious. Asd a 1e character, Drizzt fought with two weapons because he was [i]Drow[/i], not because he was a ranger. Why this got grafted onto the ranger class remains a mystery. [b][/b] And we knew for certain that he'd been a Drow his whole life, which easily explains the two weapon fighting thing. Being a ranger or not had nothing to do with Drizzt being able to fight with two weapons under the 1e rules. Your "D&D history" needs work. And your "evidence" is entirely unconvincing. [/QUOTE]
