how would normal folk of the sword coast, and other clerics of good gods react to a paladin or worshipper of Eilistraee the drow goddess? Or are the common people and priests all filled in about the goddess 🙂 Depends on the "normal person," and whether or not the paladin or worshipper is visibly a drow. Some folk would see "drow" and not get close enough to react with anything beyond their usual fear. A dancing ring of drow, though, would make most of them stop to watch, in awe…

Well… he is a Half-Wood Elf Paladin lol. Not familiar with the goddess and not sure how people would react to it. Or how a paladin of Eilistraee would even act or his ideals would be. 🙂 Hmm; who isn't familiar with the goddess? (Can't be the paladin, unless he's met her avatar personally and been enthralled.) A paladin of Eilistraee would defend the honor of his goddess (i.e. her reputation, spreading the word that the Dark Dancer is GOOD and not a trickster)…

And would defend her worshippers (i.e. drow who cleave to her before all other deities). Would carry messages from one worshipper/group of worshippers to another across the Realms Above (surface world) to save non-fighting-types among E's worshippers from the perils of travel.

A pleasure! It always pleases me to see love for the Dark Dancer. Roleplaying "the outsider" is always interesting and full of potential richness for a campaign and for the players involved.
