Talk:Drizzt Do'Urden

Capitalization of the word "drow"
With regard to this edit, the word "drow" should not have a capital "D" in normal paragraph text. This is because it is the name of a group of creatures. Just like you would not capitalize the first letter of "cow", "horse" or "dog", you should not capitalize the first letter of "orc", "goblin" or "drow". Fw190a8 22:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Any Plans in future for Motion Picture Movie???
I really would like to know if there are any plans in future for Dark Elf's Trilogy to be made into a Motion Picture Movie??? I believe that this would be one of the most Awsomesttttt!!!!! movies ever if done well. I sure hope so considering how well R. A. Salv writes and what he has created. I wonder....who would be a good Drizzt??? Hmmm, gonna have to think on that one but if this movie is done right, it could easily rival Lord of the Rings Movie. My opinion of course, but I would put money on it, lol. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question as best as you can. I am currently Rereading all of the Drizzt D. books again for second time, it is still just as great as the first time. My favorite reading to date and I'm 37 going on 38, Drizzt is God!!!! Take Care, Gary McK. :)


 * I don't think that they plan anything like that. Wizards had some D&D movie-projects and all of them weren't so successful. The last one, the Dragonlance animated movie was a catastrophe. Also I think RAS novels are too complex, or lets say too much stuff in it, to make them working as one big thing. Then there is the actual policy of the Wizards considering their changes in the Realms with throwing out old lore. I think a movie based on heroes of the old pre-hell ah spellplague would gave the newbies, they hope to reach with the 4.Ed, a false image of the actual ongoings in the Realms.

 * Actually, I was thinking about this the other day. A Drizzt movie, if executed properly, would be magnificent. However the preferences of the mainstream audience kinda stops any major film personalities from trying it... --Wereguy2 08:18, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

Drizzt - Blade Dancer
According to the small character box on the top right hand of Drizzt's page, he is a level 7 Blade Dancer. However, the link is red, stating the page does not exist because it has been deleted recently. There still is a Blade Dancer page though: Blade dancer, it only uses no capital on the word Dancer. Should the Blade Dancer link in the character box be linked to the existing page?

Inaccurate Classes?
It seems to me like the Classes section has been changing a lot recently... --Wereguy2 08:18, September 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you have a definitive, up-to-date reference for the classes? We could sure do with one. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 21:11, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * If I did I would have fixed it by now. I'll take a look around...
 * I found and, however the books seem to portray him as being a lot more powerful than a level 16...Wereguy2 00:49, October 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. The first link appears to date from 2001, and the second link is possibly even older than that, so I'm guessing his classes will have changed a little since then. I wonder if there are any legitimate 4th edition classes for him. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 02:46, October 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've changed the classes on the article to reflect those listed at http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20010117d. If anyone can provide a more recent canon source, fine, but otherwise they can stay like that instead of having people speculate. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 00:45, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey, maybe they should be reordered to Fighter (his training in Melee Magthere), Barbarian (his life in the Underdark), Ranger (surface experience)? I know this is pretty petty, but it seems pretty plausible to me. Wereguy2 23:55, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree, that order is the the way it is presented in the FRCS so it makes sense to have them that way. Unless citations can be given for any of these new 'builds' that pop up then we should maintain the official levels, however differently we may feel about them.--Eli the Tanner 15:10, January 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * You agree, yet you were the one to write them up incorrectly as they are now? Also, you cite page 158 that has the write up for Artemis Entreri, not Drizzt. What? FRCS 177 says Ftr10/Bbn1/Rgr5 and so does this site http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20010117d So until wizards publishes official 4ed stats, that's what we're going with. Just everyone leave it be, ffs. /rant Zeraktalk 14:51, January 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * As much as you seem to enjoy venting your frustration at certain oversights of mine to me, please note that I am in agreement with using the 3rd ed stats. Which is why I ammended the previous made-up 4th ed stats that had been posted and added FRCS page 177 as the source for the entire block. The extra citation I added for his stats was in order to demand sourcing that specific entry over the others....unfortunately I forgot to correct the page number for that specific one. Corrections are always wanted but please be aware that 'most' of us are trying to generate an accurate and as complete wiki here as we can but keep in mind that /rants are perhaps the not the best way to foster constructive critisim and dialogue. Thankyou.--Eli the Tanner 15:10, January 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree that this is a discussion that will not stop soon:P Because i was looking at the Dervish prestige class in Complete Warrior 3.5 and it resembles Drizzt his fighting style and features quiet well. I know that most of you are a bit "official rules horny", but what are your opinions? Just tell me if you think it plausible, and you don't have to remind me off the official wizards stats. I just want a discussion! TY User:Knako 12:17, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ghost King
It is amazing that RA Salvatore after going into such detail to create not only the drow world but also Drizzt allowed HASBRO to just kill main characters because it suits their ill conceived marketing plan of pushing 4.0 dogma on everyone.

Although I found the fights choreographed in the book interesting, this is becoming rather the part and parcel of Salvatore. I guess after 20 something books there is not much left. It seems that although Drizzt has to go through some evolution in order to grow the character, he loses to major players in his world in one book. Thus destroying not only his sentimental side (Catti-brie), but also his adventurous side (Regis).
