Generation
Droven short swords are not randomly generated. Drow heroes start with knowledge of the droven short sword, and drow in roles that start with short swords or spears will instead receive droven short swords.
Several drow can be generated with droven short swords:
- Hedrow wizards and hedrow master-wizards always generate with a droven short sword.
- Houseless drow have a 1⁄6 chance of generating with a droven short sword.
- Y-cultist fighters always generate with a droven short sword, and may receive another droven short sword in one of their weapon kits: there is a 2⁄3 chance for the first kit to have one and a 1⁄4 chance for the third kit to have one, while the second kit always includes another droven short sword.
- Y-cultist wizards always generate with two separate droven short swords, and the first has a 1⁄20 chance of being sickness-poisoned.
- Y-cultist matrons, drow matrons, drow matron-mothers, and yochlol generated in unearthly drow have a 19⁄20 chance of generating with a droven short sword.
- Driders have a 3⁄5 chance of generating with a droven short sword.
- The Avatar of Lolth generates with four blessed acrid +2 droven short swords and 2 blessed acrid +4 droven short swords among her many weapons.
- Other drow that are capable of two-weapon combat and lack defined starting inventories will always generate with a droven short sword.
