Some role players like to have an official name from drow families in the realms to make their character feel more like they truly belong. and are apart of the world officially. Others just want the big family jewels, right at the start, just to make them feel special. Yes i understand, it will just become a problem though when more than one player begins taking the same name. Creating a Drow name is quite simple... just make something up, put in a lot of 'i's 'L's and put a ' somewhere in the middle and yer good to go... EX Ki'Lillzi, that took me 2 seconds and there's no way in hell you can pronounce that, thus making it very "drow". |

I am not all that upset about loose dourdens running around, there could have been any number of exiles from any number of generations before matron malice even took the throne... or even /because/ of her rise to power a few fled. Playing minsc or viconia IS wrong but its not the same thing as making some unknown cousin to a noble family.
However ive read that we have a rule about no noble titles on our PCs meaning you cant say your PC is the son of "Duke so-and-so". The DMs didnt make any races immune to this... so you CANT play a dourden OR a despana... because these are NOBLE houses. You have to play a commoner like the rest of us. I fail to see why some paladin cant make a character thats a Baron from Cormyr but the drow players would be able to be the noble children born from the womb of a house matorn, and that would include making up your own noble house. If titles are forbidden, you cant play a do'urden, despana, mizzrym, etc, none of them.
It means your drow is a commoner, like all the surfacer PCs.

Why would a drow exile retain a house name if they weren't a noble anyway? They would simply go by their first name.
I didn't say you couldn't be from a noble house, I just was trying to point out that there were only so few Do'Urdens, and that house was actually destroyed in 1358DR. And the Do'Urden name is kinda famous... hence using it is kinda wrong. I have no problems with a drow being from House Depsana however, less is known or written about Ust'Natha in Realms Lore. Really the bottom line I'm trying to make is: just make it plausible.

How can I say this without sounding mean... screw it, I have to be me. First of all believe me when I say that you ARE "special". Second, all discussion aside you have been told by DM's not to play your char Viconia De'Vir due to naming issues. You respond by complaining in the forums and quitting. Then come back a day or two later with Ami Du'Urden. Did I miss something here or did you just blatantly ignore DM requests? Third, there is a thread regarding naming issues. This thread is about racism in the realms. Finally, Half-orcs are smelly mean r**e babies whose very exsistance is a slap in the face to everything good sacred and pure... discuss. |

That had absolutely nothing to do with Half-orcs. *edit, also you can modify your posts to add/remove info instead of making new ones* |

It's like me logging on with a first level mage called "Eve Elminster" or "Joan Irenicus"... it doesn't work.
Yes shawny, half-orcs are the spawn of unconsential relations.
