Or you could further simplify it, and somehow the magic that caused some Drow to 'revert' (be redeemed) to dark Elves also cured the driders of their insanity. You could put whatever spin you want on that (divine intervention, Miyeritar blood, High-magic once again 'gone amok', etc), and even have two groups if you prefer (sane and nutso).
That would be the reasoning for the new status in 4e - obviously, because of the timing, you couldn't use that in 3e or earlier. |

| I'm not complaining about the quite-interesting tangential development going on, but do you think it would all be better in a separate scroll dedicated to ideas on handling driders in games, their place in drow society, and whether the change (or state) is a curse or blessing? Easier for people to come across it, know what's there, and delve into it that way. It kind of seems to me like it might even work well in Running the Realms...? |

| I always considered that it was like mark of shame on the whole subrace with finger pointed: They are monsters! They are betrayers! They are not one of us! Know them as your enemies forever!... Or something like that. |
