#1 Kennethray Apr 08, 2015 18:33:53	I am preparing my game for tomorrow night and noticed that the Drow Elite Warrior has this:   Action:   Shortsword: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, REACH 10 FT.,  one target. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) piercing damage pluse 10 (3d6) poison damage.   I could not find what gives them the 10 foot reach. Was this a misprint or am i missing something?  Thanks for any help.   K-Ray

#3 bawylie Apr 08, 2015 23:04:31	No it's awesome. Go with it.
#4 TheNovaLord Apr 09, 2015 1:25:25	Yep. Anything to throw the players of there game, and break what is expected is awesome Use it
#5 Coredump00 Apr 09, 2015 8:13:00	I especially like how he has reach with a shortsword.   I would give one of the drow a longsword, be he *doesn't* get reach....because.... just because...
#6 iserith Apr 09, 2015 8:22:06	Turn the typo into pure badassery: The shortsword has a retractable quaggoth-hair twine and spring mechanism in the pommel. With the flick of a wrist, it shoots out to pierce an enemy 10 feet away. A free object interaction retracts it again. The drow word for these weapons translates to "cave fisher."
#7 bawylie Apr 09, 2015 8:31:45	Or a crazy drow fighting style with a weirdly splayed stance. Like a spider or scorpion.
#8 strider13x Apr 09, 2015 9:28:54	Battlemaster PCs can have 10' reach, so why not Drow ELITE Warriors?
#9 cowleymen Apr 09, 2015 15:20:52	I might use cave fisher knifes myself, make it a dagger item instead of shortsword, if thats allright.    And the mention of drow fighting style could be pretty cool if you play it up, describe them being bent over and splaying their body around in strange writhing movements when they attack.
#10 bawylie Apr 09, 2015 20:58:00	Hang on. "NO it's a short sword. Short! How can it reach? Damn Rodney and his nonsensical mechanics! All we demand is a game that makes sense and not this Narrativist garbage! I personally will campaign to my death to see this changed!"   ...discuss...
#11 Kennethray Apr 09, 2015 22:51:29	When I first read it I thought that it might be some type of fighting style or training, but could not see anything already written to back that up. When the group seen the Drow caravan they wisely retreated. So I still have a chance to add it later on.   K-Ray
#12 DemoMonkey Apr 10, 2015 12:29:15	It's the new Dretch Ar'mzztrong, Elite Drow warrior! Able to strike with his shortsword from 10' away or rappel down a cliff with one hand!   Fall on the ground and wail until Mother Lolth buys you one from Drows' R' Us today!
