So I've been lurking the forums and now that my druid is gaining levels faster I was thinking of making a second character, I was going for a rogue type class and was wondering do we need special permission to make a drow? or do we just have to be prepared for all the RP consequences of being that race?
Honestly I'd love to be a hunted loner and would have no problem hiding my heritage as well as thinking of great RP escapes.
If I did make a drow he'd be in no way shape or form like Drizzt, I have a serious disdain for Drizzt clones and took pride in murdering him on both Baldur's Gates games ^-^

Well, there are no restrictions to Drow that I´d know about. Basically you just have to face the consequences, and you got to have enough patience to live with that +2 level modificator.
I´m going to start a Drow rogue myself soon, so I´m looking forward to seeing another one of our noble race around. ;D

Yeah I have a drow character (alert: if you treat him like a drow without seeing his face, you're a chump) that I created simply to give the new players someone to beat up on. I don't have the patience to actually play one (until the UD is created maybe!), but they make a good moving target..

The real question should be, Where do the half drow fit in? So long as he's not a drizzt clone I would love to interact with him. (Depending on character of course). I'm going to just wait for the underdark to be full drow though.

You should try being a Lawful Good half-drow. Not only are you an outcast, but you're an outcast injustly.
The road to redemption is long...especially when you've done nothing.

I have a drow as, in fact I believe everyone know of him already since ujio exposed him but they still dont know his name. If your a drow I would recommend using a fake name and having a good story to tell about why your face is covered. also be ready to do a lot of rping. there will be times that people will bring ooc knowledge into the game so you will have to correct them on it asap but for the most part people are pretty kool about rping any situation out even if you get caught so it can be a lot of fun at times. On the half drow question, I thought that half drow were said to be even eveiler than regular drow and a good half rare was even much more rarer.

Yeah I'm gunna swap out my hood with the helm that covers your entire face, I've thought up a pretty neat reason for why it would be covered too =p
So far my main problem will be RP tricking somebody into helping me kill bandits for the half an hour it will take for me to get to Lv2 with my -1 attack bonus haha

Actually it's the opposite.
