Thanks for the advice. I have seen a lot of Drow Necromancers of high level do really well.. I was just in a group, actually, with a decently equipped assassin and a conjurer. I could tank better than both of them. I was dodging a lot because of my DEX... That's a big thing with Drow, that's why I always liked them. I don't like playing human ANYTHING, because, well.. just because. :-) There's a reason that dark-elves have a 500 exp penalty, its because they have advantages... Granted mithril is easy to come by and anyone can maul me... but that is if they can land a blow on me, and the spell improvements and learning are a big advantage. My second choice would be arial, so that I couldn't be tripped, but *spit* on Arial. :) The only reason I buy a pet is so that I can lead it to my own special area.
