The image of the double lsword-wielding drow maniac is somehow
irritatingly Drizzt-like. Perhaps I've just been hit by to many
longsword-munchkins with an amazing amount of damage-potenial and a severe
lack of personality or role-playing.

Just felt this little detail bothered an otherwise excellent article. BTW,
the other SJ-aritcles were also very useful, keep up the good work.

"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think
absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social
conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that
permanent contradiction between your ideas and all the dead formalities
and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and
unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all
feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain
and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal
wound of the civilized world"
