Maybe metal and leather for their equipment. :P
:evillaugh
A drow Patrol which comes from Cormanthor? that's what you said?...
When should it take place?
Maybe you could develop the environment of the project you wrote about in th eoriginal post... ;)

Pre-spellplague.
Say twenty drow on horseback would do. Night time guerilla tactics using crossbows, a few magicusers, lots of poison.
Thanks that should give me a lil of an idea. anything else? anyone?
What would you think a drow pratrol from let's say Comanthor(sp?) would be made out off ? ..... Just doing it for a future um .......Project!!!... yes, that it! .... project ....
-If you go back to the Drow vs. SEALS thread, you'll see that someone (was it me?) statted out the average Drow patrol (though I think it might have been an Underdark patrol, since the Fighters in the group were wearing adamantine armor, which became a point of contention). ;) :P
You know what's funny. I KNEW some one was gonna make that (stupid)joke. But to be honest I was expecting JD.
I like to keep you on your toes... :P
Horses at night in a forest? You trying to kill those poor little critters or something? :P
Darkness is nothing a set of wands of ultravision/darkvision can't help solve.
Are there no nightseeing breeds of horse on the Realms? Perhaps the drow ride those.
I agree that risking a broken leg on a horse is dangerous for fastmoving scouts, so the light hating drow would likely conserve their horses for dusk and dawn and use vision enhancing spells on their mounts during special night missions.

Well I'm no willing to go through that tedious crap :P I also need opininions that most people here can agree on ;)

I'm on my toes best when I beat people UP, Wanna keep me on my toes still?:P
Lords of Darkness (3E version) has a full chapter dedicated to the Cormanthor drow, including a full write-up of one of their strongholds, equipment, NPCs et al, if that helps.
Thanks, I'm sure it will help:D

-What, don't want to go wading through crap? I understand. Only one person was really arguing against adamantine armor, though, so it really wasn't a case of everyone disagreeing (and, no, that one person is not who you probably think!).

Yeah, but they're bred on the Sword Coast, Amphail I think to be exact, by the Hawkwinter family, and not that easy to come by.
@Ody,
Be nice or I'll put you in for a transfer to the secretarial pool. :P
-Yeah, that'd translate to Darkvision of 60' now.
BTW, dozens of nocturnal animals were not handed any sort of darkvision in the rules, e.g., owls or cats. And IMHO low-light vision ain't something that will help them at night. I would assume that they didn't get it for game-balancing reasons, as the sneaky folk amongst the familiar-users would obviously hunt down the best fammy available.
they could use that phantom mount spell.
they also might of brought up a few of their riding reptiles.
according to some long lost and forgotten article they had a portal to the underdark or access to one.
Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.
Drow rangers of experience can share a darkvision spell with their horse if it's their animal companion. Perhaps these types wander about solo when the weather conditions are unfavorable for the other scouts. A sixth level ranger with horseback archery feats could harry a party for a considerable time, or advance unseen at night for reconnaissance and quickly gather reinforcements.
Eilistraee still seems to have the Seldarines best hunting advice, which is pretty apt for certain warfare. Hunt under the full moon, running naked with spells in mind and blade in hand. Dont underestimate the use of the Art to protect, or to enhance a hunt with communication or distraction spells such as message, dancing lights, ghost sound or animal messenger. The element of surprize is the essential for a hunters victory, so when it's lost it can quickly be regained through clever magic use.

-Lot's of stuff isn't done for game-balance reasons, sure.
factor...So We all agree that is entirely fair that Drow can ride horses at night?
-Yes. But only if they wear their sunglasses at night.
-Yes. But only if they wear their sunglasses at night.
Why? There's nothing in the rules that say that they suffer anything at night? Apart from some fancy but otherwise non-relevant descriptions in some early novels? (Remember that drow in WotSQ did not suffer that much under the bright skies?) But I guess I am right in assuming that you were just having a jest on their behalf ...

-Not specifically on your behalf, but yes.
