Oh man I used to love to play D&D. Until I moved and there wasn't any interest there.That is sweet though.
i have been a fan for a long time,much respect for the companions
i think they are a notch above street levers,their whole life is survival,much less the experience and magic they have
(what catergory would black knight be in?)
I am a DM and have had the privlege of running him with my group. one of my favorite characters in the forgotten realms
BTW i have kept drizzt in all my incarnations of campaigns and drizzt is like 12000 years old in my world
Originally posted by JuntaiWell I mostly just played the D&D and didn't really get invloved with the other stuff. Then I moved which was about 6 years ago so it has been awhile.

Surprised you never heard of them.
I would love to read them now though.

If you're interested, they're highly recommended, starting with the Dark Elf Trilogy. Given the reading levels of the books and how involving they are, with a few hours of good reading time, you could fly through a novel, or at least most of the way.
Given that he's got a measure of superspeed due to the bracelets he has on his ankles, his magical swords and armor that are pretty much unbreakable and impenetrable[by normal weapons.] respectively by D&D rules.. and one sword can cancel out fire, and the other warns him of danger[it glows, in danger.. even unseen or marely ill intent can set it off.].. His magical panther, his minor magical spells...
He should be out of the league of your average street leveler. I'm not saying one COULDN'T beat him, but the probility isn't that great, considering his fighting prowess, his years and years of experience... as Drizzt is nearly 100 years old or so, regardless of seeming young in the underdark, he was young... by Darkelf standards, judging by the time it takes to complete melee magetheree and all the schools and training, and the years alone as "The Hunter", Drizzt was likely well over 50 and saw more combat than most do in a lifetime.. before ever seeing daylight for the very first time.

Originally posted by NewjakGiven that you used to play D&D, I'm sure you know what I'm meaning when I say Drizzt's dexterity was a 20, as in, ranked up in godliness.
Sounds like a beast
He was a 17th level Warrior by the time he left the Underdark and saw daylight for the first time. He then converted into being a ranger, which aren't supposed to able to have Weapon Spec, BUT, since he was a warrior, he kept it. And piece by piece from childhood to adulthood, picked up every thief skill from lockpicking to backstab.
However the stats themselves don't mean a lot outside of paper and pencil, only the way they translated on the pages.

In full sprint, he can run up straight up walls.
Plus, has all the warrior, ranger AND thief abilities.
Yeah that is kind of tough lets just say a pretty mean guy there. No I'm assuming these are the 2nd addition Rules right?
Originally posted by NewjakYea', I stopped playing after second edition and went solely to my other favorite RPG in favor of not wanting to learn a new system[albiet perhaps a better one.], in Vampire the Masquerade and it's offshoots. A short while after that, my friends and I mostly stopped RPing altogether when the DM/GM moved to Florida.

Ditto.
I would say Drizzt has "Superhuman" reflexes and agility, but nowhere near peak strength.
A fight I'd love to see would be Nightcrawler w/Swords vs Drizzt. The way they fight in comics is drawn pretty similarly to each other.
For people that don't know the other characters, who are strictly comics, you could relate:
Wulfgar to a peak human using "mallet-only" style Mjolnir, ie no other powers other than it being magical and returning to his hand
Catti-Brie to about a Hawkeye level archer, but without the exploding arrows, poison arrows, etc. Instead has magical arrows with a high piercing capability. (Is she even in this?)

Nah, not when you look at their character sheets. [I had them in the old second edition Forgotten Realms boxed set, as well as the Menzoberanzan boxed set, and the Forgotten Realms Heroes book..]I think the only person you could make a case at being more magical would be Jarlaxle[ in which everything on him is magic] or Artemis[with his artifact glove and sword, and dagger, etc.]
to bad the character sheet's are not cannon or are they accurate in the least.

there incorrect and do not even fit the characters in the least.
drizzt armor was stated in the books to be made by mithral halls best smith. I forgett hsi name. It extremely light no other magical qualites were ever stated.
