| Let me concur with what others have said above…you play your characters the way you want to, that is your prerogative. However, just as I cannot get my head round “fluffy” drow, I cannot get my head round a non-malignant barding Illythid. That is my opinion but do not let that put you off playing how you want to play.
However, and this is a point you should keep in mind, neither myself nor my drow will break character and not “see” Cthu’lhu for what it is…a malignant mind-flayer to be either avoided or destroyed. Unlike other races, drow know exactly what Illythids are and will react the only way their psyche will allow them to. So carry on playing it as you wish, just do not expect the drow to see it a some sort of “special case”. |
