As the title sais, I've been wondering since I never saw a drow cleric, that has been exhiled, worship lolth. Is it just coincidence that i haven't seen any? Or exiled drow just can't worship her?

[NiGHTMARE]

Followers of Lolth who do something bad don't get exiled - they get executed, or (if they've done something bad enough to anger the goddess herself) get turned into driders.

If a drow priestess of Lolth went into self exile, she'd call the anger of her goddess upon herself.

Also, anybody can worship anything. Benifiting from such worship is a totaly different thing.

In Lolth's case, the exile worshipper would probably face most horrendous death.

Actually, why does Lolth change those who displease her in her image?

I would understand it for those who can't kill their opponent in Lolth's test

(Turning them into monsters to teach them to be "predators" like all drow should)

But for others its a bit illogical.

Lolth is Chaos.

Thanks for all the info as you can see i'm not very familiar qith the drow.

As the drow mainly worship Lolth, wouldn't any drow exiled (if not executed) be in her disfavour anyway?

[NiGHTMARE]

Yes, but priestesses even more so than others.

With how fanatical Lolth's followers tend to be, if you had a true worshiper of Lolth that was in exile, then as part of her worship, she'd basically be required to kill herself... or if anything, she'd be even worse of a drow and be ready to kill just about anything...

You might have an insane exile drow that was a worshipper of Lolth, and was deluded into believing that if she did enough that she would be accepted back from exile... and because of her insanity, she would end up killing off people that the Matron Mothers wanted to form alliances with in order to gain power, like the Beholders and Mind Flayers...
As a result, she'd be actually be causing even more trouble... it'd be kinda peotically ironic in a way...

"Argh, that exile drow is messing things up again! She's killed off both the Beholder Queen AND the Mind Flayer's central brain..."
"But weren't we planning on double crossing them and killing them anyway?"
"Of course, you fool! But we were going to make the deaths look like it was done by each other instead of us, that way they'd be fighting between themselves and we could clean up after them... as it is, they've now formed an alliance AGAINST us. We're screwed!"

Hey, that sounds like a great idea.
