They are so underpowered could giving them something similar to elves really hurt? |

drow warriors with their under handed tactics learn an upgraded hobble in hamstring. let them have a chance to see hidden people higher level than them. trained instincts |

They have nice stats so I wouldn't be worrying they are UP. High int/dex. I would just warn you that when you play a level 50 drow warrior you tend to feel like you dont have enough hp. You seem prone to re-rolling so just so you know and won't end up feeling you wasted all that time. Adding racial legacies isnt going to prevent you feeling like that the second you walk into hellstreams. You might be happier on a duergar. Anyways just hope you understand what youre signing up for, as thats what really seems to be the underlying concern. |

It does take a certain style of play to be successful as an elf/drow warrior. I really can't think of too many successful ones from the past. A small handful.
Dwarf and duergars though are under-utilized I think, they can be quite powerful, as shown by many successful characters in the past. |

Xenyar at lvl 50 had right at 800 hp, I think. That is of course with all trains possible going to hp. Been a long time ago now!
I don't think the silver vuln was around at that time either. That came after Ygin, I believe.
That's also when dex would buff hitroll, and strength buff damage. But, dex doesn't buff hit anymore, and strength buffs both hit/dam. So quite a bit has changed since then. All the above would make them plenty more challenging to play. Since they are a low str, vuln race, throwing them a bone like a racial legacy wouldn't be a bad idea IMO. |

Change to disarm clearly benefits dex races. Also Atyrdolm wrecked shit as an elf. I don't think a legacy is necessary. |

I'm pushing to get disarm to put the weapon on the ground. It goes to inventory for good reasons now though, so we have to solve the problems that caused it to get nerfed in the first place if we do that. I have a plan in mind for some anti-vulture code that can stop low level guys from vulturing your disarms but it doesn't feel quite right to me yet. |

I just looked at it and it looks like it sends to inv, are you guys sure? I think now it only drops to ground when you flee |

they might be confused with npc and pvp interaction, pvp goes to inventory pretty sure all the time, even if you flee. but against an npc it goes to floor, so that's probably what is throwing people off |

maybe this isn't even important anymore and we can just change it to disarm to ground all the time with no vulture protection |
