[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 122052, member: 103"] Voadam - the point about what level he will come in at is an excellent point. Because of the recent knowledge that drow are +2 and not +1 for effective CL he will only have 3 levels. After talking with the DM though, we both decided that the smartest way to play this drow would be for him to not join the party but trail them. Working off the idea that he is completely concerned with his own rear end, he wants to put himself at as little risk as possible. He has to worry about poor reactions if he intially poses them with his problem. Further, when their is a fight, if anything survives, it can get word to the drow that their is another drow around fighting the temple. Chances are those drow will figure out why this guy is here and try to take care of him. Hence, I am going on the idea that it is best for him to go in cognito unless he is forced to expose himself. I actually really liked the enchanter idea as well. Unfortunately a 3rd level wizard with no scrolls really would just not cut it in terms of surviving the temple. In that scenario he would definitely have to actually join and travel with the party - when there are already all the reasons I suggested not to. Not to mention he would have extremely few spells. If I went the route for him to have some scrolls - he would be limited to 1st level spells - a 2nd level wizard. Again, this simply won't cut it. If the character was any other race I would have gone straight wizard to begin with. This guy just has to be able to hide though. Sorry - have to go - rescue squad call [/QUOTE]
