Well, I just got the 4E book on the Underdark, and if anything, it seems more awesome then the concept of the earth itself being a dungeon (hard as that is to believe).
That said, I also noted the story hook of the once-human city of Refuge, where the "knotting" effect the Underdark has on souls (basically, adaptive insanity-it helps when trying to map the place) has morphed the inhabitants into friendly but somewhat creepy frog-people, guarded by the petrified forms turned golems of a party that tried to exterminate the "obviously monstrous" town...and offended a demigod who seems to like the place. Oops.
Now, they seem to be perfectly playable, if an RP challenge. Then again, I like challenges-they make life interesting.
So, how do you think I should play a born inhabitant of the Underdark, who is very much a horror of the deep realm (albeit a nice, geniunely friendly one)?
