Im happy to accept drow as insane sadistic immortals who live CE out of decadant boredom. But i agree there have been too many b grade drow products and fanboys willing to love them unconditionally. I have drow and shadow elves from DnD in my world.<br />Konsumterrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170560484656800416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-62710601774586882482010-03-03T15:52:32.988-06:002010-03-03T15:52:32.988-06:00I've always imagined the drow as lawful evil a...I've always imagined the drow as lawful evil as well. Although I prefer the black-skinned appearance to other coloration. Along the lines you've envisioned, I wouldn't put it past the drow to euthanize light-skinned individuals in order to preserve the natural camouflage that their coloration provides in the underdark. That's also a good explanation for their rarity.Keith Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059044388944936192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-34759906071226934422010-03-02T20:24:01.236-06:002010-03-02T20:24:01.236-06:00Yeah, I always pictured the drow looking more like...Yeah, I always pictured the drow looking more like that guy from Hellboy 2 and that's how I made them in my games. If you're living underground for a long time you're gonna pale out, not become pitch black. Just ask the Morlocks. ;)Daniel R.

I have never cared for how drow society has been constructed especially in the FR, it just never made any sort of sense for the reason you mention here. While I like the idea of evil elves, D&D's 'standard drow' have not not been of interest to me. Your take has a lot of possibilities and I look forward to seeing more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-35739608460353825092010-03-02T14:50:48.778-06:002010-03-02T14:50:48.778-06:00I like this a lot more than the standard drow, whi...I like this a lot more than the standard drow, which I hated so much as to never (that I can remember) use. <br /><br />Your shadow elves I like much better.David The Archmagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649391406526258069noreply@blogger.com
