Aside from Drizzt, can Drow be non-evil?
Aside from Drizzt, can Drow be non-evil?
Drow can't be evil because they are cucked simps who are femdomed.
can Drow be non-evil
preferably no. otherwise, you get some of the worst players at your table.
TFW Nobody will RP a big breasted drow with my snake
Yes. Look up Eilistraee, she's a good Drow goddess with many followers.
there's a whole fucking faction of good aligned drow
read nigga read
Are those the ones who refused to get pegged.
They can be, yes, since technically they're not *born* evil. The issue is that for thousands of years Lolth has fostered a self-destructive culture of malice and hate where everyone that isn't a vicious sociopath gets murdered before they're out of their swaddling clothes. Drizzt was only spared this fate because he knew to play the game long enough to get the fuck out of Dodge.
Eilistraee is a Chaotic Good Drow goddess of beauty, music, and the hunt. She's been stealthily trying to poach the moderate Drow to her side, rescue the good ones, and turn the evil ones that aren't too far gone. Being one of her devotees is basically the only way to play good Drow without being a snowflake.
Hehe
Delf niggas be like
hi, my name is Shitsquirt
preferably no. otherwise, you get some of the worst players at your table.
Players wanting to play as the antagonist faction/race is always a red flag. Just pick something normal
Legitimately will never understand how Drizzt doesn't fuck Vierna when she offers. Does he come out as gay later on or something?
She is a garbage god that only exists to seethe at Lolth.
Yes
CAN NIGGAS BE GOOD?
yes, racist. ugh.
Yes. Liriel Baenre and the Warrior guy, whose name I can't remember, who appears in the later Drizzt books. Beyond them you have all the Eilistraee devotees. Also if she counts Viconia DeVir I guess. One could make a flimsy case for Jarlaxle to be Neutral.
Even sticking with the BG series Viconia can become non-evil and Minthara is pretty mellow all things considered
They can be but they'd be shunned/killed by Drow society and also be shunned/killed by everyone else because no one likes Drow to begin with.
I'm le evil because le evil god
Cringe
IRL evil people just honestly jack off to the suffering of others.
Viconia DeVir is evil as fuck
yes, theres a whole city/colony of them at the north pole.
tfw fetish for underdark women
Drow, deep gnome, or duergar, I wanna fuck women with grey skin.
kill them all
Drow women can rape me
Yes. His dad was also not evil, if you ever read the books.
No one aside from boomers even know who Drizzt is.
Yeah, those are the ones at the top of drow society, they're the ones Lolth chooses to be her high priestesses.
Zaknafein was the only real nigga in Menzoberranzan, and he got killed for it.
If I pick a Drow in BG3 will everyone hate me?
Evil is a retarded concept.
Drizzt is a shit character and RA Salvatore is a hack--as are most Drow writers.
She can be turned Neutral.
why can't men be this gorgeous irl
I'd be gay if they were ;_;
I just remembered how horribly Salvatore fucks up with Vierna and the middling brother.
ONLY DRIZZT CAN BE GOOD!
Cringe.
Considering how strong he was and how he was literally a priestess assassin it beats me why he didn't just take his chances instead of sacrificing himself.
BG3 retconned her to be loyal to Shar and more evil than ever
brining him back to life in the recent books was a weird choice though
Aside from Warhammer Fantasy do any settings present the Dark Elves as good people?
Viconia in BG3 is basically a bastardization of her and only adheres to what her character would have been if she had been kicked from the party immediately, like every returning character. The actual Viconia dies at the end of her romance
Sister Seekers
All Drow women are good because they are cute and sexy and these are both good things
Broadly speaking, the 'dark elves' of Lord of the Rings are just elves who never went to Valinor and remained in Middle-Earth.
There's one elf in The Silmarillion, Eol, who kidnapped someone to make them his wife, then tried to murder his son but accidentally killed his wife. He's probably the original evil dark elf. Though strictly speaking a whole bunch of elves in The Silmarillion did even more fucked up shit. For instance, all of the Noldor.
technically yes but they shouldn't be and if someone tries to roleplay a non-evil Drow you should call them a faggot
yes, the only "flaw" of TES Dunmer is that they sometimes treat their farming equipment a bit roughly
What about Misogynist drow who think gynocentricism is gay?
That's basically all of Wizards of the Coast novels involving Drow.
Do Drow still dress like whores like they did in the 80s?
then tried to murder his son but accidentally killed his wife
Geez, elves really are too androgynous for their own good, eh?
They're called the Bregan D'aerthe
Player characters can be anything. Problem is the exception became the rule. The real question to ask anymore is can Drow be evil? I don't think Gygax cared much and made sure they could be waifus just like reg elves.
TES Dunmer sure, a bit rough around the edges but that's all mer in elder scrolls
then they either shouldn't play the gynocentrist race or they should play an evil but misogynistic drow who kills women
Is that fetus death match thing still canon for Drow?
All the weird drow trivia from their inception have been slowly phased out. Drow priestesses don't fuck dog demons anymore either
Why is this in Anon Babble and what shitty AI art gave Drizzt red eyes?
viconia my wife is pretty evil. I wouldn't consider her anywhere near good
technically she shouldn't be in bg3 because she dies in the credits in bg2. she was raped and murdered by a pack of farmers.
Proper worldbuilding allows for all kinds of interesting fringe situations that don't need to feel contrived. Before 4th edition, there was a region of Forgotten Realms called Dambrath that was ruled by a caste of half-Drow mutts on behalf of a Drow city that had conquered the region in ages past(the Lolthites hated being on the surface too much to rule it themselves). One of the half-Drows' minor rebellious gestures against their overlords was to legalize Eilistraee worship and allow the Eilistraeens to build a temple directly across the street from the temple of Lolth in the capital city. This kept the full blooded Drow preoccupied with religious feuding while the halfies schemed for more power and independence, and it also ensured there were lots of good and neutral Drow floating around the area so players could do whatever with their own Drow characters and it would mesh seamlessly with the setting.
of course! You just have to work on them a bit
