The SendingStone review

The Drow in D&D have a reputation as being dark and cruel, often described as evil elves living deep underground. They are known for their agility and skill in combat, as well as their use of magic and poison. While their alignment is listed as neutral evil, some players argue that Drow can have more complex motivations and alignments. Their challenge rating of 1/4 makes them a relatively weak opponent compared to other creatures in the game, but their abilities and tactics can still pose a challenge for adventurers. Overall, the Drow are a popular and iconic enemy in the world of D&D, and their reputation as cunning and dangerous adversaries continues to make them a favorite among players and dungeon masters alike.
