[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3352289, member: 4134"] Welcome to the boards, slipstream76. We can credit Drizzt with at least that: He gets more people to post on ENWorld :) Trivia Time: While the Dark Elf Trilogy (Homeland, Exile, Sojourn) are more or less the beginning of the Drizzt story, they weren't the first books written: The Icewind Dale Trilogy came first! In fact, The Crystal Shard was the second FR novel ever - only Darkwalker on Moonshae came before! And since the Moonshae books didn't show too much of the Realms, you could say that the Crystal Shard was the first "proper" FR novel. Also note that Drizzt wasn't the first choice for the leading role: It actually was supposed to be about Wulfgar at first. But Bob wanted to put some of the stuff from Darkwalker in there (which he had read before/while writing Crystal Shard), to tie his story into the new game world. The sample chapter that won him his bid for a FR novel was about Daryth and his moorhound Canthus. Only later he changed that into the Drow/Panther combo we all know today. All I say to that: Bluff check :p Just bad luck. You play D&D, you know how it is. I know I have had my share of rotten rolls lately (and about 5 other guys' shares to boot). So my DDM Marilith is standing right next to some mook, gets 6 attacks with a very decent attack bonus, but still only gets to beat him half to death (he and 2-3 of his buddies should be kebab). And there were a couple of gaming sessions when I was looked at funny when I only rolled init checks like 20-25. "Great rolls" you think? Not so, with an Init Bonus of 18. Kye's probably one of the fastest mortals on and under Faerûn if it comes to spring into action, and still he got outperformed by clumsy pit fiends (and I think even a dragon once). There we agree on. Well, later this year, Drizzt will get his next novel, "The Orc King", and will hopefully start tearing down the Kingdom Many Arrows. [/QUOTE]
