This Drow Ranger is a benevolent but harsh member of the Drow clan who boasts his famous dual scimitars in his arsenal. As a bonus character in the game, Drizzt must be unlocked through extreme difficulty in order to be playable. That means you have to play through the game once and complete the gauntlet level to first unlock the extreme difficulty mode (you then have to start a new game and complete that as well). When you play this bonus character, he'll start at level 16 with 122,000 experience points.
Tips and Strategies in using the Drow Ranger
Along with the Dwarven Fighter, his main strength is in using two weapons; he also has the ability to keep lots of items in The Gauntlet mode and he begins with a head start experience wise. 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. The weapons he begins with are exclusive to him, and cannot be sold or dropped but can be a worthwhile weapon to use if you like to chop up enemies.
