[QUOTE="Nightingale 7, post: 1155630, member: 13883"] I'm not the kind to root only for the PCs.I'll be the first to acknowledge a well made NPC,and I am very interested in the drow bladesinger. Yes,that scene in Daughter of the Drow is very inspiring,but Bladesong is a predominantly sun-elven and moon-elven technique.Bladesinger schools exist only in big elven settlements,such as Evereska and Evermeet.Elves are VERY reluctant to teach it to even the "outsider" wild and wood elves.Half-elves are almost always refused to be taught,since they aren't full-blooded elves.Drow are NEVER taught Bladesong by the surface elves. If you frequent the WOTC boards there was a big debate a long time back as to the possibility of drow bladesingers.It can be argued that before the Descent,the Ilythiiri(drow predecessors) lived peacefully with the other elven subraces.They may have known the bladesong style from then,and continue to practice it in the Underdark all the way to the present,albeit in a wicked,twisted form.on the other hand there is no such empirical evidence in the sourcebooks or the novels,and since Corellon Larethian is the patron of bladesingers he might,very possibly,have scoured the bladesong style from the Ilythiiri minds,when he laid upon them the curse that turned them into drow. Of course I'm not saying all this to discourage you from using that character,but I'm trying to give you a broad perspective,in the off-case that one of your players know that FR lore and showers you with the same questions.Perhaps you could modify his background a bit to explain his bladesinger status [/QUOTE]
