I have been allowed to selfishly cut Drow's (@meanbossart) hair. Just to see... but this also seems like an essential part of Drow-tending, like shearing a big purple sheep. God knows what's stuck in there, and you KNOW this man doesn't brush any part of himself enough.

Unfortunately Typhus cannot always be trusted with the clippers. At least this ram can keep the shepherd in line...!

#it's fine. ty-ty knows sneak attack. coming at you from the front means he likes you #my typical big boy proportion issues are all over this but I think they're hilarious #SURE DROW YOU CAN HAVE BICEPS THE SIZE OF A SKULL YOU"RE WELCOME #tiefling #drow #bg3 #bg3 durge #typhus #had to finish this finally before RJ died in bed

I like doing these sort of fake screenshots of our campaign and these are my faves so far! The first two are from 2022 and the other two from last year so some of these are a bit older already.

Sorry I haven't posted here for a while!! While I've been away I started playing Baldur's Gate III last year, and I have a new OC to completely obsess over~ Meet Lavinia, a half-drow, hag-eyed, Oath of Devotion Paladin! I've finished her playthrough now and managed to keep her oath in tact. I've done pieces of a few of the party companions, so far I've painted Karlach, Lae'zel, and Shadowheart--I have all the men currently in the work now too, don't worry--so I'll post their pieces up here soon as well! Hope you're all staying safe and well x

a quiet kid from baldur's gate, eastway.

kaamos was raised as a girl but he gradually transitioned over the years while growing up 🏳️‍⚧️

his single mom was a drow healer and worshipped eilistraee, but her religious teachings did not stick with her adopted child. which is not surprising, her kid being a bhaalspawn.

(edit: adding more lore!)

when his mom found him as a baby on her doorstep, she thought the child was a gift from her goddess, a blessing for her devotion, but that couldn't be further from the truth lol. instead she was a victim of brood parasitism and got a prominent bhaalspawn.

The vampire lord had first requested the pretty bard delivered to him and only changed his mind when informed about her kin. “Perhaps the Stormbringer is more useful,’ he remarked, “though, the moth would definitely brighten this dull affair.” A coin toss between selfishness and ambition was all that separated Thoriel from the grim embrace of undeath.

We finished the death house quest (our version is heavily modified and only the name is left of the house). Adam was left there and we need to find a way to bring him back in the future. It was really sad

Does anyone know where the bit in the description of the Lolth-Sworn "subrace" in bg3 "marked with bright red eyes by Lolth", comes from? There are so many examples that don't fit into that, and I think the separation into "Lolth-Sworn" and "Seldarine" is weird anyways? What about other deities like Vhaeraun? Or those that follow no god at all? And why is it stated that all Lolth-Sworn drow come from Menzoberranzan? It's not like that's the only drow city in the Underdark

#i know that the drow changed a lot through editions #like with the loss of infravision and all #but Malice Do'Urden and Gromph Baenre don't have red eyes #just like Drizzt doesn't #trying to make sense out of the weird things Larian did to the drow to make them playable as both “good” and “evil”#ramblings #bg3 drow #drow

I'm curious if you know of how the other casting classes, like Bards, Sorcerers, and Warlocks are seen in Loth-sworn societies? If it's mentioned at all.

Oh, this is a really interesting topic! 😃 There are some information on drow bards, sorcerers and warlocks in Drow of the Underdark (3.5e) - I find especially the concept of drow bard totally awesome.

🕷️ Drow Bards - surfacers often do not realize that drow have an ancient bardic tradition, "one that transforms the traveling entertainer, trickster, and storyteller of the surface into one of the most horrific taskmasters and assassins of the Underdark".

Drow bards are somewhat uncommon in drow societies and they often do not travel the world, but usually connect themselves to some noble House, join a theatrical troupe or become employees in various city locations for artistic performances.

Performing can be deadly dangerous to a drow bard, especially since drow tastes are notoriously fickle - bards who fail to amuse their clients sometimes find themselves a part of the next performance: "disappointed audiences are not shy about taking out their frustrations on those who fail to provide suitable entertainment. The fatality rate among performers is high."

Many drow bards study various means of death-dealing, including the use of poisons, and are skilled spies and assassins. Sornafein, patron of Matron Mother Z'hindia Melarn from Menzoberranzan, was a bard - he was known to kill his rivals with strings of his instruments.

Drow artists in general are considered "even more decadent than typical members of their race".

🕷️ Deathsinger is a specific type of a bard, unique to drow culture. Deathsingers are rare and they combine their bardic skills with necromancy - they are able, for example, to control the dead through their songs.

🕷️ Drow Sorcerers - their position in drow societies is usually similar to that of drow wizards and arcane spellcasters in general. "Wizards and sorcerers are found in nearly equal numbers among the drow (...) and sorcerous talent runs strong through the chaotic and inherently magical drow."

🕷️ Drow Warlocks - "warlocks are not unknown among the drow, but they are seen as something of an oddity. The race's affinity with and connection to the Lower Planes is too great for them to not exhibit some sort of taint from beyond, and demonbinders are among the most common examples found."

Drow warlocks have "strong links to the Abyss and to Lolth, but those ties more directly bind them to Lolth's servants - her demons - than to the Spider Queen herself."

Also, I just found a curious thing about female drow warlocks:

If powers of a female drow warlock come from bargains with (or descent from) demons associated with Lolth, she can be considered blessed by the Spider Queen. If such a female meets all the other priesthood requirements, she can have the status of a priestess, even though she is technically an arcane spellcaster.

Apparently, this is one exception to the rule that all drow priestesses must be divine spellcasters. Such "warlock priestessess" are rare, though. They are also expected to serve the church and the noble houses rather than to run them.
