Oh right, just read UA, sure enough Drow get to fight two-handed no penalty. They also get +2 to all saves vs magic!

So you don't have to take a NWP to do it. You might want to spend that NWP on some paint thinner though to get rid of the giant target on your armor.

Ettin: Let's see... Gnome illusionist, Drow cavelier with two swords... Gnome, drow... Gnome, drow... That's a toughie.

Honestly, though, Threnody is the big target. 14 THACO, 2/round is rough. God, specialization sort of equalized fighters, but it kind of makes combat too nuts. Imagine if all those pirates had spec bow by the initial rules? The game would already be over.
