How many Drow city is their in the Underdark? I'd like to know a bit more on them and their family so I can finish the BG of Veldrin.

Destiny is as great as our choice.

It would likely be impossible for most sages and Realms scholars to know of *all* the drow cities that have existed in the Underdark. It's a vast region with plenty of unexplored and uncatalogued expanses.

If you're looking for more information on particular drow cities references in the Realmslore however, I'd recommend both Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark and 3e's Underdark source.

You'll find a few referenced tidbits on Zanan's drow-related site as well.

Good old "Drow of the Underdark" by Ed Greenwood (with ugly/old Drizzt on the cover, as they used to draw him! LOL!) had an extensive listing of all drow cities in the Underdark... it was about half a page long, three columns wide.

ok, thanks, I know someone who has it. I'll try to borow it. In which book can I find the feet for surface Drow? The one who decrease the normla Drow malus to the light

The last time I saw a feat like that was in the "Players' Guide to Faerun." I think it was called daylight or sunlight adaptation.

Rants and reviews that interest no one may be found here.

Waste of a feat I say... keep an area of darkness around you when a fight break out, and you will lose your dazzled condition; take a "Drow of Underdark" feat that lets you see in magical darkness instead...

There, you've killed two birds with one stone: you found a way to make that darkness ability useful (enemies miss you) and you can now traipse around sunlit lands with not much of a worry...

Unless you're planning on keeping darkness up pretty much all the time, I think the feat would be better. Either way, you're talking about burning a feat. I'd rather burn a feat on the scenario I'm more likely to encounter -- daylight is a lot easier to find than magical darkness.
