Salvatore's novels, it's possible for drow to get beaten by members of other races (and boy do they ever; the drow got their asses kicked by the dwarves when they tried to conquer Mithral Hall, not to mention that the human Artemis Entreri has singlehandedly killed himself a few dozen drow over the span of the novels <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=":)" /> ).Heh, so true!  Early in my Forgotten Realms campaign, the PCs were ambushed a group of drow that with an Encounter Level of 2 above the party's average level.  The PCs hardly even broke a sweat defeating the drow, and when the fight was over, more than one of the players made comments to the extent of "That's it?  I don't know why everybody's so scared of the drow; they're freakin' pansies!" <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=":)" /></blockquote>
