GW, i think one of the reasons the creators made the drow equipment so powerful is because in p'n'p D&D and also in Salvatore's Dark Elf Series they make many implications towards the fact that Dark Elves were not only master smiths, but also were incredibly competant magic-users (not to mention the fact that the stuff was adamantine). A culmination of all of these things is undoubtedly what led to the creation of such incredible weapons and armor. However, i do agree that after using that stuff in the underdark and then simply having it turn to ash sucks. -Strider
