Or they just want to make use of the high spell resistance and +stats.

Caveman, if you ever meet Nebbie, have fun. Though, if your druid is already one of those epics, it be nice to give me a real good headstart when it comes running away. Wildelf: ... Consider this war. Drow are natural enemies, and one's natural reaction to a natural enemy is to attack and destroy it. ...Or run away screaming, hide, and hope you're not found and the evil, evil thing goes away. Even if the fellow in question happens to be rated as effortless. I'm no epic char, I'm sitting at lvl 18 and in no hurry to get much higher than that right now. I'll be sure and do some rp with ya and some head start stuff. I also have a hard time believing anyone who plays a drow not wanting to PVP with it. Why play a drow other wise? Everyone knows how drow are, They kill surfacers on sight and even each other if they will it. The only reason somone would not want to pvp with one is so they can lvl up to 30 then say ok I will pvp now. Nice point. Feel free to attack ICE at anytime, but with good rp to back it no less. Also it's only fare that he can brand you if he wins. He just bought a branding iron and can't wait to use it.

As long as were on this topic, I've a question for caveman. Assuming you have a high spellcraft, do you tend to attack warlocks on site? Or would that be considered meta gaming? Due to the timeframe the pw takes place in. From what I understand the class is rare in that period. When www ran fall of the thayans I found it hilarious that there were quite a few weavemasters and an unnamed person summoned a balor in the middle of the group and no one did much of it short of a verbal scolding. I realize it was late and when there are events the dm's like to include as many folks as possible for fairness sake. Just thought I'd throw this in there. Unless of course this was handled later you can ignore this.

I've been grinding like crazy and when I lvl again I was planing on running around and attacking political figures or any one who gets in my way. I thought the branding thing would be his signature mark as he has delusions of grandeur and all every one will be his slaves. *makes evil laugh*

I realize it was late and when there are events the dm's like to include as many folks as possible for fairness sake. Just thought I'd throw this in there. Unless of course this was handled later you can ignore this. I was there for a short time duringthis event. I wanted to stay on longer but it was early morningand I had to do the responsible thing and go to bed I unfortunatly didnt see the balor summoning. but to the warlock question... Yes I hate warlocks IC and OOC. I have Rped with some different warlocks . Both My chars dislike them due to my personal distaste for them. I would like to be able to attack warlocks on sight also but knowing the battels to pick is part of it as well. Warlocks are just as bad as tieflings really due to the warlocks having to make pacts with demons to get their power. One warlock in particular is a friend of a person that Tarsakh has respect for so out of respect for this friend he tolerats this warlock. I know on occassion I have ooc grindined with some warlocks. While I know thats not good RP but sometimes to get to a certain goal you have to put aside differences and obtain the goal at hand. Hes the other kicker A lvl 9 spell that druids and wizards get is shapechange. This allows the person to change into a demon or nightwalker. Have I used it ? yes .. Will I do it openly ... No. Has somone seen me Yes, and I made haste to run away and change back into my regular form. RP wise I suppose I could use the escuse that to know ones enemy you have to go to lengths to understand them.... Anyhow, I'm always up for getting my butt handed to me

LMAO. that was good and funny. you actually surprised me with that post, as I thought it would be overlooked. ICE is my prized character and has been called a powerbuild in some cases but that is not I intentionaly built him as. He is stuck up though and a bit of an ass. usually I only play him when grinding but I do plan on brining him out in the open once he lvls again. he used to rome around all the time but zealote took him out with his monk and since them he has been in training till he can take ujio out and kill him. that was funny though and very much unexpected. you deserve some karma for that so here take some.

In medieval Europe there was a belief that if you ate meat handled by a Turk you would rise from the grave after death.
People are taught from a young age Teiflings are cursed, dirty, evil beings responsible for crime, and wielders of dark magicks.
I could see a Flaming Fist member encountering a Teifling being lynched and turning a blind eye, depending on the individual of course.

Or run away screaming, hide, and hope you're not found and the evil, evil thing goes away. Even if the fellow in question happens to be rated as effortless. Thats something i would like to see more. Even though you might be a lvl 30, i think the reputation of the drows should still make you atleast a BIT scared. Thats how i usually play my char, if a drow comes up, he hopes it didint notice him, and he runs the other way, since if there is one, you can allmost bet there is another one somewhere near Offcourse everyone shouldnt even play like that, an all. Just something that would be nice to see =) Even if the drow would be marked as "effortless" to you.

I wasn't sure where else to put this so I will put this on my own thread. I came into contact with two supposedly "Good" Warlocks yesterday. I didn't kill them but I rped with both a little. I have found nowhere that warlocks are good at all. Everything I have found they are evil chars. So why are there so many people playing goody goody warlocks? Warlocks are, among historic Christian traditions, said to be the male equivalent of witches (usually in the pejorative sense of Europe's Middle Ages), and were said to ride pitchforks instead of broomsticks which normally witches would ride. In traditional Scottish witchcraft, "warlock" was and is simply the term used for a wizard, or male witch.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarlockThe warlock's dark heritage gives him a limited array of useful powers. Most warlocks carry at least a small taint of evil, but a few manage to rise above their ancestry to become great heroes. Sinister or valiant, a warlock offers plenty of challenges and rewards for any player.www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/cwc/20050630a Unlike Sorcerers and Wizards, who approach arcane magic through the medium of spells, a Warlock invokes powerful magic through nothing more than an effort of will. The font of dark magic burning in their souls makes them resistant to many forms of attack and arms them with dangerous power. Warlocks learn to harness their power to perform a small number of specific attacks and tricks called invocations. nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Warlock

Well, there's nothing that states that Warlocks aren't good either. Granted, they are on the evillish side of things, but alignment requirements for warlocks are any chaotic ( including Chaotic Good) or any evil, if I remember correctly. From this we can assume that warlocks are generally, but not always, chaotic and generally, but not always, evil. I agree though that all those good warlocks can get on your nerves, like all good aligned drow As a side note, medieval christian views and traditions doesn't really figure into it, as this is a fantasy world. If we apply real life history/mythology to things, we might as well ask why not all Paladins are french knights or why the dwarves haven't made the hammer Mjolnir for Thor
