[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5453123, member: 22424"] Sadly, the drow became really badly overexposed. It reached a point where having drow involved in a setting/adventure/supplement was actually a negative selling point (to me at least). I'd much rather see WotC/Paizo leave drow alone for a time, and concentrate on using some of the game's other cool bad guys for a while. And then, in time, they can start using drow again... a little. (They're a bit like the Borg in Star Trek - when first introduced, they were cool and deadly. Then, over time, they were used so much that they lost their mystique, became routine, and eventually became boring. I guess that may be inherent in having a recurring "ultra-deadly" villain where the needs of the story are that the heroes triumph 99% of the time. Personally, had I been running Star Trek, I would have imposed a rule that, "Every time you use the Borg, someone we care about has to die, permanently.") [/QUOTE]
