I have two questions about Viconia and Drows:
1. Is there a thing you can edit that that you can be a drow,and doesn't come whith all that other junk?
2. I know this may sound stupid ,but I heard that if you're a elf you can't have romance whith Viconia,but if you're a drow will you still be counted as an elf,and not be able to have romance whith her?

Well heres ur answers:
1) No you cannot become a 'Drow' as in the fact you will not gain 70% MR if you choose to be an evil elf and have black skin and white hair. People still call you elf and you do not just 'Fit in' in the underdark

2) YOu can romance Viconia as an elf so that isnt a proplem if you are trying to RP a drow.

Hello Salvos!

It's true that Viconia isn't partial to Elves --- she prefers her males to be larger, nudge nudge, wink wink.

Since you can't play as a Drow and she has racial problems with weak surface Elves, just be a human or half-elf and enjoy her charms.

I think that the Baldurdash ToB fix-patch will allow her to fall for half-orcs, if you're interested in playing an even larger character.

There *is* a Baldurdash patch that will enable romances for all races, with all possible female candidates: http://members.home.net/mrkevvy/

you could turn yourself into a drow:
give yourself +1 int and dex but also give yourself -2 cha
give yourself 50% magic resistance (i wouldn´t bother with the additional 2/level as drow lose some mr when on the surface)
give yourself -2 to reputation

this isn´t perfect (after all, drow also gain an xp penalty and suffer penalties for fighting in the light rather than in the darkness), but it´ll be a closer approximation than they used for viconia.

( here we go again)

or you could get TDD and be a drow cleric, a drow ranger, a drow assassin, a drow warrior or a drow battlemonger!

with all the usual drow stuff- ie magic resistance innate abilities etc
