D row Magic. Drizzt knows the dancing lights cantrip and can cast darkness and faerie fire (DC 11 Dexterity save negates), each once per day. Fey Ancestry. Drizzt has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put him to sleep. Trance. Drizzt doesn’t need sleep. Instead, he meditates deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. After resting in this way, Drizzt gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. Class Features
Action Surge (Recharges of a Short or Long Rest). On his turn, Drizzt can take one additional action on top of his regular action and a possible bonus action. Dual Wielder (Feat). Drizzt gains a +1 bonus to AC while wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand (already accounted for in his AC) and can use two-weapon fighting even when the one-handed weapons he is wielding aren’t light. In addition, he can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when he’d normally be able to draw or stow only one. Extra Attack. Drizzt can attack twice, instead of once, whenever he takes the Attack action on his turn. Second Wind (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). On his turn, Drizzt can use a bonus action to regain 1d10 + 8 hp. Two-Weapon Fighting Style. Drizzt adds his Dexterity modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Archetype: Champion
Improved Critical. Drizzt’s weapon attacks score a crit on a roll of 19 or 20. Remarkable Athlete. Drizzt adds +2 to any Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution check he makes that doesn’t already use his proficiency bonus. Equipment
Green hooded cloak +1 leather armor Icingdeath and Twinkle (scimitars) Taulmaril (longbow) Gwenhwyvar (figurine of wondrous power) Horn charm of Mielikki
Icingdeath Weapon (scimitar), legendary (requires attunement) Icingdeath is a +3 frostbrand scimitar that deals an extra 1d6 cold damage on a hit and grants Drizzt resistance to fire damage. In freezing temperatures, the blade sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Drizzt can, while the blade is drawn, extinguish all nonmagical flames within 30 feet of him. This property can be used no more than once per hour.
Twinkle Weapon (scimitar), legendary (requires attunement
Twinkle is a +3 defender scimitar. The first time Drizzt attacks with the weapon on each of his turns, he can transfer some or all of the sword’s bonus to his AC. The adjusted bonuses remain in effect until the start of his next turn, although he must hold the sword to gain the bonus to AC from it. A blue sapphire in the blade’s pommel glows in the presence of danger, preventing Drizzt from being surprised as long as he is conscious.
Taulmaril Weapon (longbow), legendary (requires attunement
Taulmaril is a +3 longbow that comes with the Quiver of Anariel, which produces an endless supply of silvered arrows that transform into streaks of silver fight that deal piercing damage on impact.
Gwenhwyvar Wondrous item, legendary Gwenhwyvar is a unique panther figurine of wondrous power carved from a single piece of onyx. If Drizzt uses an action to speak the command word and throws the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of him, the figurine becomes a giant panther (use the saber-toothed tiger statistics in the Monster Manual). Gwenhwyvar is friendly to Drizzt and his companions. She understands Drizzt’s languages and obeys his spoken commands. If Drizzt issues no commands to it, Gwenhwyvar defends herself and Drizzt, but takes no other actions. Gwenhwyvar can remain a panther for up to 12 hours. At the end of the duration, she reverts to figurine form. She reverts to figurine form early if she drops to 0 hit points or if Drizzt uses an action to speak the command word again while touching her. Once it has been used, the figurine can’t be used again for 24 hours.
Horn Charm of Mielikki Wondrous item, legendary This ornate whistle hangs from a silver chain worn around Drizzt’s neck. when the horn charm of Mielikki is blown, a unicorn named Andahar magically appears within 60 feet of the item and remains for as long as Drizzt desires. Andahar is friendly to Drizzt and his companions and willingly serves as Drizzt’s mount. The unicorn otherwise acts according to its nature and is not under Drizzt’s control. Andahar has bells tied to his reins. As a bonus action, the unicorn or its rider can make the bells silent, or use a bonus action to make them jingle again. If Andahar dies, the horn charm turns to dust and is destroyed.

@ChrisPerkinsDnD What do you think makes Drizz’t such an iconic character?

— Zee Rae (@KbowlZee) April 30, 2016

Drizzt has appeared in over two dozen novels by @r_a_salvatore (the latest novel, titled Maestro, just released). https://t.co/vV295DmgWq

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Why is Twinkle’s bonus action attack only a +7 to hit instead of +10?

— John Appleton (@jaa0109) April 30, 2016

Because, for the live game, I decided that I’d shift all of Twinkle’s bonus to Drizzt’s AC. https://t.co/newimebudT

@ChrisPerkinsDnD But I fought he was a ranger

— Brogan (@BrosPros_) April 27, 2016

He’s called a ranger, but his abilities are more in line with fighter. https://t.co/CwZZESm6Ey

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 27, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD So, what was that accent you were doing for Drizzt? As a drow player, I gotta know what “canon” is. 😛

— badmad stormmad. (@baroqueout) April 24, 2016

For Drizzt specifically, I was aiming for a combination of Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) and R.A. Salvatore. 1/2 https://t.co/aJXKIKCfUj

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 24, 2016

In my home games, most drow have a French accent. Drizzt is not like most drow, however. And none of that is canonical to the Realms. 2/2

@Hexen525 @ChrisPerkinsDnD I don’t worry about spoilers, but if he doesn’t have the bracers…then he certainly doesn’t have the bow

— Stuart Wood (@altstu2) April 27, 2016

He has the bracers, but they didn’t fit on the page, and so I left them out. https://t.co/JkRwKA3Hsz

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 27, 2016

@Phylok @ChrisPerkinsDnD Someone with levels only in ranger can still claim to be a fighter. Class name and identity are not the same

— Xavian Starsider (@KoalaXav) April 27, 2016

I agree. https://t.co/xqY4z3q6s8

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 28, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Looks like you renamed Guenhwyvar for that alt Drizzt as well.

— Dan_Lawyered (@LawyeredDan) April 27, 2016

That’s just s spelling error on my part. https://t.co/OOFS0It2Tu

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 28, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @LawyeredDan don’t worry, no one spells it correctly the first (or 27th) time.

— GnawBit (@gnawbit) April 28, 2016

I’m not worried. The character was created for a game, not publication. https://t.co/SKvlWywtUT

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 28, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I’m crunching numbers and it seems the Drizzt you used doesn’t have legal ability scores?

— Jace Parker (@PenofJace) April 27, 2016

His ability scores are legit. You’re assuming I used a standard array or point-buy system, which is not the case. https://t.co/4t8ICUvrh5
