Hell no he isn't a Marty Stu!

Most people are wary of him outside of close friends, his wife got taken to a pocket dimension after contracting a magical plague, and he knows no magic. He is just a very good melee fighter and tactician.

Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.

In front of anyone watching, and even in private, where there could be bugs, yes. When the mission turns to combat or infiltration, however...

[up][up] I'm judging him based on the numerous characters ripped off of him. You could fill a small country with Drizzt knockoffs alone.

...Because he's the first true good Drow in all of fantasy history. Of course he would be very interesting. He's also the only Drow Ranger in existence so far.

And the female drow's worst trait comes to haunt her... evil grin

Overconfidence. On top of the elf's standard racism, there's also sexism, which stems from the female's superior physical abilities and greater magic reserves. On top of that, is the Chaotic Evil tendencies that comes from a society of backstabbing and cutthroats. Suffice to say, Drow Females usually die violent deaths.

A WMG that formed a long time ago: wild mass guessHumans are the first "Half-Breed" Being of a Dwarf and an Elf.wild mass guess It made sense to me, since in all fantasy settings humans seemed like the middle man between those two anyway.

This raises the question: Why are they called humans? how did they grow so diverse? And how drunk were both parties that such a mistake happened? tongue

Let's see... Drow have excellent vision, but would need sunlight vision goggles, right?

Actually, as I understand it, they don't need goggles, their eyes just take more time to adapt.

Also, I'd like to point out that the half breed theory makes some sense, but there are problems. See, half-breeds generally have dilluted versions of their parents' strengths and weaknesses. As I see it, since elves don't have any particular weakness to poison, humans should have a slight poison resistance, being part dwarf.

Also, both dwarves and elves are generally shorter than humans. Why would a half-breed be larger than both its parents?

Mmmmmmm... But would goggles or sunglasses during the day be practical?

Elves differ in different settings. They can be faerie-sized, child sized, shorter than humans, or 6-7 feet tall slender people.

Unless the drow has lived for 2-5 years on the surface, glasses/goggles are recommended.

You'd think so, but consider this: they wear the goggles, so their eyes are for the most part shielded... Suppose the fall off, or an enemy pulls them off? suddenly, the drow's eyes are exposed to blinding light! They can't see! Then, the enemy has an opening. Quick swipe of their blade, and off with the drow's head.

And they do vary, but for the most part, I mean.

Oh, I'd do that too, but the drow often use magic, meaning that fighting them at range isn't that practical.
