11-20-07, 08:41 PM Errr...no offense, really, but is there a need to make a new topic for each creature you want to learn more about? I'm sure everything you said in each of the five or so topic threads could fit into one post.

Also, is it miniatures?

... and no, miniatures is something 3,5Eish and appeared only about 2 years ago with anything Wizards-ish.

11-21-07, 04:53 PM I would HIGHLY recommend you read some of the prevalent literature on Dark Elves if you plan on using them in any campaign.

Check out the following authors.

-R.A. Salvatore (The man that started it all)
-The War of the Spider Queen series (various authors)
-Elaine Cunningham
-Lisa Smedman

Reading these books will give some depth and character to Dark Elves in your campaigns.

11-21-07, 05:28 PM which book would you suggest i get first?
Stigger
11-21-07, 05:35 PM I'd say the 2e Drow of the Underdark myself, should be in a pdf format somewhere for purchase. 3.5 version of it I'd avoid personally...
Aerostoth
11-21-07, 05:38 PM Oops, sry. I already have the 3.5 of Drow of the Underdark. I meant novels though.
Stigger
11-21-07, 05:39 PM Ah, don't bother with most of the drow novels to be honest, so couldn't really say one way or another.

11-21-07, 05:44 PM Speaking of novels:thinks: , I started a new thread on them (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?p=14394266#post14394266). Please post there :help: ... thanks!
