| | Rant - Drow Items That Decay Come From Mean DMs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | So a drow that should have 10,000 gp of gear actually has (for example) 12,000 gp of gear (if computed without the discount). |
 | | True, they can use the drow equipment while on such a campaign, but when they leave the underground tunnels laden with "treasure" that's going to evaporate, that means they're not being fairly rewarded for their work. |
 | | If the drow are just an occassional opponent it's not so bad (they would count as a no-treasure monster in those circumstances), but you still have to keep in mind how the cost of DDS (however you interpret it, using option 1 or 2 above) affects the EL of the encounter. |
