Oh, Ezrindir, worry not. As long as I (a bard of no small amount of philosophy on the harmony of races) have an ounce of sway, no one shall be made into anything even REMOTELY tasting like chicken...
....Maybe some nice curry or something...but DEFINITELY NOT chicken.... |
My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

How can you have wings and be a drow? Are you a half-dragon or something?
Hmmm...a very interesting, and very unique union.
How, may I ask, is such a combination even possible, given the general worth of Drow traits...?

| Drow male could have been follower of Eilistraee. Avariel female could have been exiled, and wanted offspring. Drow Vhaeraunite "forces himself" upon the avariel. There are plenty of reasons for such a union. |

| True, but one never knows what insane situations can happen in the Realms..... Actually, I kind of agree with you. The odds would be better if you bet that Halaster Blackcloak would become a sun elf within a tenday....... |

What are we talking about in terms of physical appearance then?. Given that half-drow offspring already have some pretty unusual traits, what does your half-avariel, half-drow PC look like Ezindir?.

| Ah Sage, I can answer that for you. His skin is a pallid gray tone, and he has wings sprouting out of his back. He carries himself with the fey grace of the elves, and is a follower of my deity Vhaeraun, though I'm sure he could tell you more....... |

Indeed...Ezindir, my friend...where are you...? 
It seems your character has sparked the interest of one of my players, so she's asked me to find out about his exact appearance. I think she intends to play a half-avariel/half-drow.

Thats Nice!
As for the appearance, do you mean in NwN or as I would like him o look, they are very close anyway. In NwN he lookes like a drow, skin not as dark tought, and with angel wings.He are gennerally the same as I want him too be, only the closes is diffrent.
And I know his story are a little "thin" but I wanted too be a Avariel/Drow and dident have the time too figure out the missing part in the story. But feel free too come with suggestions tought.  |

Thanks for that Ezindir, that helps alot.
Actually if you are interested, this player I was talking about may contact you via ethereal mail to ask some questions about your character. I can't believe how interested she has become over this...
Oh well...

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I forgot which scroll this was in, and kept skipping over this one.
According to all the official information I've seen, it's impossible to have a half-elf/half-elf. It's always one or the other. It's the same for any other race with subraces.
It makes sense, after all -- otherwise, there would be a lot more mixes. I suppose you could have had magic make a difference somehow, but this shouldn't happen naturally. |

| I don't see why it couldn't, Bookwyrm. A if a drow and a human could mate, then why can't a drow and a faerie elf mate? It makes perfect sense to me. |

| I didn't say they couldn't mate, or that they couldn't have kids. It's just that if two subraces of the same race have a kid, then the kid is one subrace or the other, not half-and-half. |

| He can have traits from each, though I'm not sure whether Ezindir considers himself drow or avariel, or maybe just multi-bred..... (no offense meant, for those who would take offense at so trivial a sentence....) |

I did grow up with the Avariels, and I do have wings so I consider myself mostly Avariel, but the drow vein are in me too.
Bookwyrm: Care too tell me where you found this info?
And why? Why must I be pure Avariel or Pure drow? I can be an Avariel with drow in my veins, right? |

| Correct. I believe Bookwyrm is saying that you should be called just an elf, not a Half-drow/Half-Avariel. |

I already told you, Dracandos.
As for location, I cite Evermeet: Island of Elves, a 2e resource I've forgotten, and being reminded myself here on Candlekeep months ago.
Perhaps Sage can shed some light on this? |

Here's what I can remember, without access to my books -
Of the known subraces of elves in the Realms, cross-breeding is possible between all of them. However, the offspring from a crossbreed pair of elves will either take after the male or female parent's race (what this means is, it is highly likely that there would be drow-moon elf mongrels, and a child that is the result of such a union would most likely have either all the traits of a Drow, or of a Moon Elf).
