[QUOTE="Endur, post: 5470272, member: 3346"] Re 'Drow mainly worship one goddess that doesn't allow for much religious diversity.' I think all of the TSR/WOTC novels and modules have focused on Lolth as the primary deity with other deities also being involved (Elder Elemental God, other demon lords, other drow deities). So that is a change to a no longer lolth dominated society. Re: "a significant portion of the drow community is good." Where did that come from? The only good drow I've seen in the books/modules from TSR/WOTC are Drizzt, one other protagonist, and a few hardly ever seen Forgotten Realms followers of a good goddess (all of the good drow being from the forgotten realms -- I'm not aware of any good drow in Greyhawk). Given cities of chaotic evil drow and only a few isolated good drow, it hardly seems a significant number. Re: "everyone knows that drow exist and what they are likely to do when they come to the surface, and probably what they can and can't do power wise." I'm not sure I agree with this. Sure the players who read the modules and play the games knows about them. But non-adventurers might only have heard of them in tales and legends. Power-wise: players may know that drow have pc classes and some special abilities, but do you really know what classes a particular drow may have? [/QUOTE]
