    [​IMG] I was thinking that i would start the game (again) whit party that would include only drows:

    female crelic
    male fighter
    male ranger
    female rogue
    male mage
    female sorcerer

    It would be just like the houses in Menzoberanzan :)

    Sounds cool. Actually I was thinking of doing it myself (as soon as I get the game, that is) with a party full of evil drows, and maybe a duergar for a tank.

    One female drow could be sorcerer/cleric with CHA 20 (good bluff, diplomacy and turn/rebuke undead!)

    Have you thought about using a Paladin?
    Even though Paladins are supposed to be Lawful Good, surely the drow have some sort of equivalent lurking in the underdark.
    Just my $0.02

    I thought about having an all Drow party but the severe experience point penalty is kind of off-putting to me (of course I need to finish the game first before planning my next party.)

    Actually that's a really cool idea think of it as a two level handicap (not that you gain nothing from being drow) think of the firestorms - (Dreamy sigh) of course you cleric would have to be Illistree (Yeah too lazy to whip out the manual so it's guaranteed to be spelt wrong) if playing good and Bane (Closest to good ol LLoth) if playing evil - your fighters would have to Dual wield - drow arn't big into the tower shield thing - but I think you're on to something there. - As long as you don't even mention scimitars and confused rangers you'll be fine ;)

    As a side not I personally feel all drow nobles born into their society would carry at least two classes - if not three - now that would be a real challenge!

    My usual rapidly depreciating three cents

    I personally don't think that Paladin would fit in the picture, cause paladins are noble and there's nothing noble about drows and Underdark! :D

    P.S I hate Paladins. They are too good and honorable, somehow i find that annoying.

    I agree Belwar - I hate Paladins too. But from a drow perspective surely they have fighter types who are (in their mind) noble. Fighting for the cause of Lloth.
    A fallen Paladin may be an interesting path to follow, I don't know if they have any advantages over a fighter. Do they lose their abilities after they fall?

    I have a PnP Drow Paladin that I'm planning to use in IWD2. He's a Drizzt kind of guy (but wearing plate mail and using long sword and shield ;) )
