I had a friend a long time ago who played a drow ranger that used longswords. Thats as fair as he got to being a Drizzt clone. He did his own thing and was killed by the party when he betrayed us to a vampire wile in ravenloft.

The only time Ive ever ran into the hated Drizzt clone is on MMOs. It was so bad that I started to time how long it would take to run into one after starting a new MMO. Shortest time was 30 seconds. In STG it took almost a month.

Drizzt isnt the only one who gamers copy when making characters. Ive seen many peaple on these boards ask for advice for characters based on anime, movie or novels.
