SHADAR KAI
VS DROW
First, Shadar Kai! They're former elves of the shadowfell, though now some half-living offshoot. Normal human height. They can see in the dark and teleport, turning all ghostly when they do so. This is the player kind, so don't have to deal with the depression aura of the monster manual version! And...that's all we learn of the PC version, so for once I'm actually glad for the MPMM's hatred for detail.
The average drow is a 5 foot (1.5 m) cursed elf that's cartoonishly evil to the point of parody. That's not actually innate, their goddess just personally has the good ones killed and tries to manipulate/torment them to be even more evil. So there are actually nice ones, I mean they used Drizzt as thier only example photo, but most drow that survive to adulthood are going to be sadistic and dominant. Primed and ready if you're into manipulation and being used! Or someone with a hell of a lot of trauma.
I'm figuring out how to make these look...decent, because some of these have too many artworks with background for me to comfortably do my usual basic photo editing.
#shadar kai#drow#And hey look#for once I don't know which to vote for! I've gone on many rants about hating the shadar kai#But you know how when you're introduce to a character by someone you dislike it can make you hate them?#Yeah I've never read his books but I've encountered many a Drizzt fan and near all of them were annoying as fuck.#Not because they were a fan. I love hearing people gush about things they love. They as people just pissed me off.#Now I have an instinctual and very negative reaction to this one specific drow who honestly doesn't deserve it#but oh well. them's the brakes.#smash or pass#dnd#dnd 5e#5e#d&d 5e#d&d
