I always thought that the deeper you go in the Underdark the stronger the faeriz (sp?) and the more chance of mutations (including sterility)
I think the faeriz can mutation just to explain why the drow have their innate spell-like abilities (and why they are supposed to lose them when away from the Underdark for too long)
I remember reading one of the theories for the dwarf sterility (pre-Thunder Blessing) was volcanic fumes and the radiation of the Underdark
And I think if the drow were to go sterile, it would be more the females sterility...they would be the ones more in control of the faeriz sites...the males would be mor a cause of mutation during reproduction

| oh, and I always thought the zin'carla zombie was just a glorified ju-ju zombie but that the creator could exert "domination" on the zombie to a certain range (inspired by the novels, not the RPG material) |

| Also from Daughter of the Drow by ECunningham there is talk about a radation spot where some mages put magical items to enhance them some way. I don't remember if it was harmful to Drow or not, I will have to take a look through the book again to see. |
Turox Antas Dragonslayer -
"People will believe anything they want to believe, or fear to believe."
Wizard's First Rule: Chapter 36, Page #397, US Hard Cover (revealed by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander).
Explanation by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."

That is how Drow had cheated back in 1E and 2E to get "free" magic items. Just Faerezz (sp) heavy areas, but there was nothing ever about mutations, other than the 1 two-headed deep dragon. |

now that could be a loaded question...
"if you mean change everything" as in change everything that was is 1st and 2nd edition AD&D into 3rd edition D&D...then no, it hasn't happened yet...they converted the most important things first and are slowly converting the rest |

The entire core system of 3.0+E is altered therefore minute details like the statistical aspects of Faerzress radiation are changed, well within reason. In many instances (of which I think this is the case here) the playability and scope of 3.0+ editions allowed for material to be 'statted' where it had gone as house rule or undefined in previous editions.
For the adamantine items in sunlight shpeal see pg 70 of the Underdark acessory. It is considered 'drowcraft' armor special ability. Page 48-49 gives a detailed explanation of Faerzress. |

Of course there are things not converted yet, that in time likely will be. In fact the 3.X Editions basically just transfered over some 2nd material and was not converted/changed (with the exception that the material is valid under both prior and current Edition).
There is no way a list can be provided for what is the same, what has changed and what so far has not been addressed at all.

| I dont understand your preference for 2e. to me it seems inferior to 3e. Also i take it you are 18/19 yo which means you are too young to have gotten used to 2ed that strongly. either way my opinion is irrelevant im just saying. |

| i grew up nothing but 2e. unfortunatly i personally dont like most of the changes...they are in a sence quite liberal. and you opinion is justly noted and is not totaly irrelevent. as fortune had it i picked up the game and i fell sooo in love with it. i picked up on FR with the drizzt books and moved my interest over to here. i hope that explains why it is that i believe in it so strongly |

As I said last night, 99% of the novels/anthologies are canon except for the ones I mentioned before. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

honestly Shadowni87, I couldn't tell you...I'v read all RAS's Drizzt novels and I do have vague memories of Drizzt regretting what happened to that goblin outside of the actual short story but not in what book...I wish I could be more of a help |
