Aside from Drizzt, can Drow be non-evil?
Yes.
Next question
Can lolth sworn drow be non-evil?
Yes, in older edition of DnD there's effects that force alignment shift so even someone born Evil can become non-Evil. In latest edition alignments aren't race-locked so any race can be any alignment.
Make thread on if you wanna discuss this in detail.
Since Drizzt was the original donut steel, I think it would be fitting for Drizzt to break with the modern trend of ALL Drow are good guys and become an evil Drow. Evil Drizzt will be the baddest motherfucker in the Underdark.
They can be non evil but most often are evil. This is because drow society is inherently evil focused around a god that is herself very evil. Participating and partaking in that society naturally means you're going to be raised doing evil things.
For drow that is often slavery, raiding and dark magic.
You can see this in the githyanki as well. Can there be good githyanki? Sure. But most won't be because the warlike society is based around lich worship, slavery and endless war with the mindflayers.
There's always exceptions to the rule but they should always be rare.
Funnily enough Orcs were the same until they became mexicanified and made a normal race.
It's RPG, shit don't matter. You can be a wheelchair-bound vampire half-drow, half-nigger-gnome son of god, a homosexual that turns straight when he gets drunk
So how much did bg3 sell? I can't find a report.
If they're devoted? No, Lolth demands absolute obedience, slaughter and treachery.
There is an entire society of good-aligned drow, united under the banner of Eilistraee, the best FR goddess. And they hate Lolth with a passion.
WotC hates them for some reason, because they think (no joke) they make Drizzt less special. Because apparently, he isn't Gary Stu enough for WotC.
Seldarine Drow will get their time in the spotlight any day now...
Solaufein was
Sure they have a goddess who dances naked with swords and is for good drow. Also, they can follow other gods. And also, there not-FR drow as well.
drizzt
Donut steel gary stu writer self insert shitstain of a character.
There is actually no such thing as Seldarine drow, it's something Larian pulled out of their ass.
According to Greenwood, every drow can technically worship whoever they fuck they want, it's just that Lolth has a Russian mindset and goes out of her way to force the drow to worship her exclusively or else. Because every other drow deity is objectively a better pick than stupid evil Lolth, so she literally has to force the drow into worshipping her.
Apparently, only the drow nobility worship Lolth by choice and the vast majority of commoners worship either Vhareaun or Eilistraee, only paying a lip service to her, so that her crazy clergy fucks off.
that's a man
With that delicate neck, so delicate, so easily snappable? I think not
They aren't even evil in the books. They're not No Country for Old Men evil. They're Dune evil.
All women are just men in wigs if you really think about it
Hardcore handholding with minty
Canonically speaking, can beholders be cute and kind?
And makeup.
Yes? Drow are just elves, they have elven souls, they don't have an evil essence or natural evil inclination, they can worship whoever they want and have whatever alignment they want. It's unironically a cultural thing, because Lolth rules the underdark where most drow live and forces her dogma.
Drow evil isn't race inherent thing. They are that way due to centuries of brainwashing by their Gods (mostly Lolth) in where this type of behavior is encouraged to survive Underdark, and their shitty Gods (mostly Lolth, again). It's why surface drow aren't considered a true drow by drow who come from Underdark as they are less likely to have suffered from this influence.
Tieflings on another hand are meant to be inherently evil due to their bloodline. There is no "but" or "if" about it. They were all meant to be morally dubious at best due to their devil blood. No Tiefling could ever truly be good, but DnD forgot all about I guess. Now they are just shitty "misunderstood" special OC steel donuts with horns.
cringe woke game.
cute
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
ehehehe
kind
Absolutely not
Yes, I fucked Vic into being neutral
Eh, you could have a "I'm conflicted and struggling with my own nature" with tieflings, they're just sentient and touched by evil enough. Also mixed race.
Both 3E making them exclusively evil and 5E making them exclusively chaotic were dumb though, since they can have non-chaotic devil ancestry. They should have all non-good alignments available to them, chaotic good tiefling is bizarre.
You think beholders find drow sexy? There was that one beholder from some comic that had some drow ladies with 80s's haircuts serving him.
If you agree it with your DM, yes
Beholders are evil and seething 24/7 because all the keikaku intelligence and magic in the world cannot give them a penis
If you are the DM, make your own canon
There is one in BG2 that's not evil. He's just bored with his job and wants to make new friends.
Eilistraee
Good
Wasn't she a literal misandrist that only cares about the female drow? The only good god in this setting is Ilmater
Not really, it's her brother that is the god of male Drow, but I don't remember her having any exclusionary rules like that.
I love how this conveniently hides the hag lines, not to mention the chain smoker voice
The issue with nu-tieflings (outside of their design) is that they no longer even have this struggle with their nature. They are just "misunderstood" by bigots for looking funny I guess.
I never was hardcore tiefling guy, but they stripped them away from anything that once made them unique. From their designs being reduced to just generic demon looking people, to the concept of the race fighting with their literal inner demon. They are just horned people at this point, and that's it.
15 million as of a year ago
Yeah very deceptive of that guy to not include her voice on a image. You fucking idiot lmao
That's her mom Lolth kek
Her brother opposes the mom because he is male and his biggest policy seems to be "fuck Lolth" over preferring one gender over the other. He does encourage rape of female drow though. Especially if they are from Lolth's faction and a priestess.
Eilistraee on another hand is just dumb whore that wants to dance naked under the moonlight and thinks that all problems can be solved if everyone just accepted to be friends with each other.
Why pretend nobody posts on model?
The OP image is just her from the game
No, not really. WotC suits tried to spin her that way in very late 3.5/early 4e, because she was getting waaaaaay too popular in the drow fandom, but even the FR writers told WotC to fuck off. So WotC had Eilistraee killed in 4e, because fuck racial nuance. It naturally bit them hard in the ass in 5e.
I mean the wrinkles you fucking imbecile
demon
You can't even use the correct terminology and yet expect people to think you know what you're talking about.
That explains it, the stuff I read was from that time and I didn't even knew she got killed. What about my boy Ilmater? How did he got fucked in modern D&D? Considering he's basically Jesus I wouldn't be surprised if they also killed him
NTA but he obviously meant inner demon as in the expression in the English language, not a literal demon
She is not wrinkled per se, the issue she has is that she uses (at least I suspect) durge's deranged facial animation, which make her have insanely retarded, face morphing expressions when she speaks
Her actual model doesn't have any noticeable wrinkles.
Then don't use a fucking comma, dumbass.
Her brother opposes the mom because he is male
He opposes her way more because he thinks she is being stupid by shrinking drow numbers just for her fucking amusement, and stupid gender preference, which ultimately makes all drow weaker as one gender is trained to be dominant, while other is not. What he wants is of drow to dominate over everyone else, and it's kind of hard to achieve that when your mommy dearest gets majority of its population wiped for her stupid games.
can Drow be non-evil?
yes, but you gotta help them with that by killing them
Basically he wants to deal with civilizational woman moments caused by his female relatives.
All Drow are evil, drizzt is good because he's the chosen the chaotic goddess of Drow. Orcs are chaotic evil niggers, and tieflings are fiends
