There are annoying aspects (too uber and falls into the "might makes right" problem, big ego, too much angst) but that's not necessarily a huge deal; there are lots of worse FR novel characters. (*Koff* Mystra and her Chosen. *Koff*) I'm so glad Eberron has some quality novels; I can read about heroes being challenged again <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Having said that, I don't like his clones (even though they're not uber - drow are not mechanically sound, and swashbuckler archetypes are weak by RAW), and I absolutely despise Eilistraee. There's a special layer of hell reserved for her, one even Mal wouldn't fall into.I felt very bad when I read Eilistraee's name in one of the more recent Drizzt novels; suddenly I think Drizzt is going to meet an Eilistraeen, get her as a new girlfriend after three-and-a-half novels worth of failed dates and "damsels in distress" situation and then dump Catti-Brie. Having an Eilistraeen would make the series much less enjoyable, and I wouldn't touch any books that mentioned her unless I'm told by a trustworthy source that she dies painfully in it.</blockquote>
