User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Must Have for Underdark DM
This is by far the most detailed resource book ever about drow that I have found besides just reading the novels. It is very enjoyable to read if you are a drow fan or a underdark DM, or simply wish to have a basis on how to rp your drow. I use it as a bible when it comes to my players bickering on how drow are and what this book says is final as far as I am concerned. If you do not give this book 5 stars I suggest you look at yourself and ask how anal you really are. If you can find a better resource book please let me know. So far this is the winner in my opinion.
5 Stars excellent
AN EXCELLENT BOOK THAT GIVES SOMEONE THAT IS NEW A VERY GOOD UNDERSTANDING AND BACK GROUND OF THE DROW UNDERWORLD
5 Stars A must for all players and DMs of the Underdark
A detailed journey through the drow world. The Drow of the Underdark is perhaps the only book which will give you precise details and also a lot of aid in creating a drow PC or NPC. Going through everything from drow history to magical items, the Drow of the Underdark is a must for all players. It’s adaptability is unmatched yet, and is useable by all players.
Better yet, it has a cover unlike many of the other Forgotten Realms expansions. A black paperback cover inlaid with gold.
3 Stars Good Information on Drow for DM
This is a fairly useful accessory by itself and a great companion for the Menzoberranzan boxed set and Complete Book of Elves. It goes into great detail about Drow ways, customs, etc, and I found this to be slightly boring.
I enjoyed a lot of the magical items it introduces, but didnt find it to be terribly useful for player characters.
5 Stars Great book even if you don’t play Underdark
This is the best D&D rules supplement I have ever purchased. It contains so much information about the drow (dark) elves. It talks about their religion, their language, and a sect of drow that are good aligned. If you have any interest in ever including drow in your campaign this is the book for you. I use the drow- english dictionary in it all the time. It makes interesting puzzles for my PCs. Even when I am not playing D&D I use this book; it has some cool drow names that I like to use as names for some of my MUD characters. Without a doubt this is the most useful D&D book I own short of the Monsters Manual.
