You just beat a group of dark elves armed with disproportionately powerful magical weapons and armor!  Don't bother looting it, though, because all that cool stuff you just found is gonna turn into dust once you take it out of the Underdark."Again, magical items are not the same as creature special abilites.  Disliking the fact that drow weapons dissolve on the surface in an obvious attempt to let drow NPCs have more powerful weapons and armor than the PCs is not the same as disliking not being able to take a dead creature's special abilites, and even suggesting such a thing is a severe stretch of logic.I can't even understand liking dissolving drow stuff from a flavor standpoint.</blockquote>
