I don't blame him. Were I an author--something I haven't ruled out in my life, mind you--I wouldn't want to write under the auspices of TSR/WoTC (or whatever they are these days). Too controlling; my characters are mine.

Unless they were going to pay me a really nice royalty percentage.

Anyway, I know he wrote at least one Star Wars novel and that he did something many people thought of as a big no-no (no spoilers, here

). It pays to be diverse, obviously.

Completely off-topic now, but oh well. I'd like to see a story in which Drizzt is honestly defeated in one-on-one combat to see how he handles defeat. Is he as wise as he purports to be? Anyway....

Drizzt is the (in most people's opinion) best fighter, Elminster is the most powerful mage (Faerun only), Cadderly is the most powerful cleric, and Artemis is the best assassin. Who are the other "mosts"? Who is the best archer (personally I think Daniel Brennan--the Yeoman--is the best archer; if you know who he is then kudos to you)?
