I'm pretty lenient with some things, as long as it can make logical, reasonable sense to me. No Drow should ever be Good aligned, to me.. Neutral is passable, at best, but even then it's highly suspect to scrutiny as play goes on (and I'll set up a death-trap that'll crush half the party to get my point across. That's why I tell people to make back-up characters in advance! Saves time later. <.<
wink . Evil Drow, though, are perfectly fine as PCs to me, as long as the campaign itself is Neutral or Evil aligned as an overall theme.
Dual-wielding characters are fine, too, and I'm even lenient enough to accept a Drow ranger on occasion... But no scimitars. Just not something a drow would prefer to use, I'd think, and while characters are allowed to be as different from their character race as can be, I have my limits on fandom.
Now, see, I'm a bit different, I think it's possible for any creature to be any alignment, but there must be a reason to justify why that creature is that alignment. Example - I would like to play a good aligned drow, because my parents were part of a war band that tried to fight against a group of elves, my mother hid my character and then after the elves slaughtered my parents (my character was an infant) one of the elves found me and hid me from the other elves, then later came back and took me to his home in the mountains and raised me. Therefore I am going to be playing a Chaotic Good Drow.
Okay, sure, go for it. Now if you grew up in a normal drow society in the underdark, uht-uh. No way in hades you have a good aligned character buddy. Your drow is space cowed, make a new character.
