Half-drow cleric of Lolth?

[fearknight2003]

Can I roll up a half-drow and play a cleric of Lolth?

Lolth does grant spells to half-drow, yes. But i suppose it is quite rare.

Half-drow who live in the underdark can, if they are skilled, pass themselves off as drow. Such half-drow can hold status and power within drow society. Those that are discovered are destroyed by the priestesses of Lolth in punishment of their weakness, but Lolth allows those that succeed in their deceit to survive, for it is a sign of strength.

Hi!

so, first Id like to say that this is my personal opinion, and I don't speak for the Staff or player base as a whole.


... but from my understanding of Forgotten Realms lore, it would be highly unusual* for Lolth to accept clergy who were not both female and full-drow.

(There are exceptions, like the Chitines, and in 2nd Edition Drow of the Underdark, male drow could be clergy but would usually not be allowed to progress past 7th level, DotU, P. 38)

the other yathrin would probably beat you to death or put you thru the trials of lolth till you died
