The comment was an idle one as magic was being discussed and it's a marked difference from 3.x and Pathfinder.<br/><br/>As Muse said, and I've been trying to say for some time, the issue is that the character is a drow and a drow, while an elf, is viewed with hatred by surface elves.<em><strong><span class="bbc_u">Getting</span></strong></em>[/b][/u] an elf to make the armor, or refitting the armor is the issue. They simply aren't going to do it. You spcifically stated that you didn't want drow weapons and armor because it falls apart once exposed to sunlight. This isn't entirely true as, according to some substancial sources way back with TSR that it's the energies of the underdark that allows for the fineness of the drow items and the lack of exposure to those energies that causes the damage as much as sun (and moonlight) exposure does. Simply being an elf isn't going to get a drow elfen weapons and armor. I have, however, given you options to circomvent this, but didn't get a response to it in this forum.<br/><br/>You might recall that when you asked to play a drow that unlike a lot of GM's, I do use the racial disadvantages as they're meant to. That means the racial issues too. I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from playing such races as everyone wants to, but I do insist that such races be played true.<br/><br/>I'll make the offer again. If you can tell me how the character came to own such an item, I'll allow it. It has to be more than "An elfen armor smith gave it ot me; it must be a pretty serious service to get an elf to do the job and risk the recriminations of doing the job for a drow.
