I am trying to update an old 2nd Ed Ravenloft module I have for
use in a 3.5 campaign. I haven't tried this before and was hoping
to get advice. I'm afraid all I can say about the above stat block
that will help is that all the drow clothing and armor was enchanted and that the Mages both had Bracers of Armor AC 2.

What I'd like to know are the typical drow ability scores,skills,
feats and EQ for 3.5D&D 16th level drow Wizards and 15th level
drow Fighters, if anyone knows of such, or can make an educated
approximation I would be most grateful.

Good luck!

12-27-03, 03:46 AM Since Drow are listed in the Monster Manual, just take that listing and add 16 levels of Wizard or 15 levels of Fighter to it...

You could probably even use the NPC stats in the DMG and substitute Drow ability scores from the MM and whatever equipment you feel is appropriate.

12-27-03, 04:59 AM I'm using the SRD and it's a bit awkward to identify and locate
all the relevant info but i'll keep at it.

Should I be applying Fighter levels or NPC warrior-class levels?
What about the drow Mages, is there an NPC arcane casting class
that is not in the SRD?

12-27-03, 06:23 AM Ah, if you're just using the SRD you probably don't have the useful generic NPC templates provided in the DMG for all of the base classes.

With most races I'd probably use the Warrior class for generic mook soldiers, but with Drow it should probably be actual Fighters. And for the arcane casters I'd personally go with Sorcerors even though Wizards might be more appropriate to Drow.

And if Drow aren't in the SRD then we can't provide the stats here because that means they aren't Open Gaming content.
