His starting level makes the beginning dungeons very easy. However, his magic is terrible and has a slow regeneration rate compared to the Dwarven Fighter. Even worse than the Elven Sorceress, his long range attack is terrible and is the only person that cannot use the bow. As such, you are forced to get within melee range of every opponent.

If the enemies are too much for you, repulsion will drive the enemies away and you can slow the enemies down. Also available to Adrianna, Drizzt has the Otiluke's Icy Sphere which does normal damage and helps if you have a hard time hitting a moving target. So if combat is too much, using magic is a great diversion, but it helps level the pace whether you want to rush into the game or take your time so you won't get hit with a surprise enemy lurking in the dungeon. | ||
