DAAAAA BEARS!
Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. - John Kenneth Galbraith
Drizzt is a well-known Dark Elf ranger. Gandalf is an extremely powerful wizard. When you think about it, swords won't really do much to Gandalf if he can make Drizzt explode before he can swing them.
gandalf wins
drizzt has shiny tings and a kity cat he loses
but his pocket lint is able to beat gandalf hands down
on the other hand unknown to most people do to gandalf's large beard he has a JAY LENO CHIN his chin inhances his magic abilities 100x
drizzt's shiny sword is shiny though so it beats everything
Drizzt would own him.
Gandalf, hands down.
Gandalf, hands down. Drizzit would shit himself.
But hey, this is a wizard speaking.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Ozimander J. Griswald was all like:
I have to agree with Mort. Gandalf would just return, even more powerful then before.
But Drizzt would win the fight.
later fights never entered the equation

Pffft. Drys said "who would win", not "who would win this fight".
i still say the shiny thing wins
The crowd assembles. A bunch of young, powergamer whelps forms on Drizzt's side and old, fat, bitter fantasy pros form on Gandalf's side. The two sides hurl insults at each other while the fighters prepare.
Round One
Drizzt comes in, blades flashing, and quickly mows through Gandalf's protective layer of hobbits. He's considerably slowed, however, as Frodo gets stuck on his scimitar.
Gandalf takes advantage of Drizzt's distraction and roasts his pals: Catti-Brie, Wulfgar, Bruenor, Guenhwyvar and even that little fat halfling...Regis?
Round Two
Drizzt proceeds to lay some smackdown on Gandalf. However, thanks to the Dark Elf Trilogies, a bunch of drow come to kill Drizzt and Gandalf gets in a free shot, smashing Drizzt well.
Final Round
Gandalf canes in Drizzt's skull, and the drow collapses and dies, much to rejoice of all the old-school gamers. However, it turns out Drizzt and his friends weren't really dead, they were just <INSERT REASON FOR MIA HERE> (abducted by Artemis Entreri, buried under rocks, trapped in landslide, etc.)
Drizzt and Co. attack Gandalf, however, they quickly lose to the wizard. It seems that they were in one too many stories, and have gotten so old and disinterested in the years, they just sort of lost spirit.
Gandalf, however, is a timeless figurehead for it all, and is lively at 100 as he was at 10.
Winner: Gandalf
You'd probably have to have read some of R.A. Salvatore's work to get the above jokes. Drizzt is cool, but his sun has set.

That made me LOL.
Anyway, Gandalf while a well known and most loved caster, would fall to Drizzit. [ 12-07-2001: Message edited by: ImNotTrent ]
Even a level 5 wizard would be considerd powerful if the next highest wizard was 3rd level.
Also, when did gandalf cast any spell over 3-4 level?
Lets assume Gandalf is CR 9 (6 for being a 6th level wiz, 3 for being a powerful non standard race)
Drizzt is CR 18 (Forgoten Realms campaign setting, page 177)
Drizzt would made Gandalf his bitch without breaking a sweat.
Edit: Balor, Balrog, same thing! [ 12-07-2001: Message edited by: Zephyer ]

Some things we need to remember, Gandalf is not a mortal but Tolkien's version of a Demigod of sorts. He was of the order of Mair, lesser beings of power who served the Valar. This put him on the same power level as Saron, who was of the same order of beings, but was forbidden to go head to head with Sauron with all his power.
After he was slain in his battle with the Balrog, he was: "I was sent back for a time until my task was done." I don't believe he was sent back more powerful, but just had his purpose refocused. In reading, it's almost believable that he is even weaker after his return, and his power comes from the Ring of Fire he wears.
As for a fight with Drizzt? Gandalf hands down. There isn't even much of a fight, Gandalf waves his hands a little, Drizzt's weapons catch fire and he drops them, they sit down and smoke some pipeweed while talking about who has the worse lot in life.

That.....was......AWESOME.
Hehe.
I read every one of those Salvatore books, and by the end I thought DO NONE OF THEM EVER DIE?
Thinking about your posts
(and billing you for it) since 2001
This should have been Elminster vs Gandalf. That would be a nice fight.
Now lets look at Drizzts history. He has killed at about a half dozen high level cleric in the favor of Lolth, and more than a handfull of wizards. So we know he has experience against Magic users. And lets not forget that Drizzt has single handedly killed the greatest of deomons.
I think it would be a close fight. But in the end we would have Gandalf laying there bleeding and wondering if anyone got the name of the mountain that just got dropped on him.
Of course if we factor in that Drizzt would have Guenn with him then the battle would last about 15 seconds. Gandalf would never know what hit him.

Uhhh no it wouldn't I would like to see a planet left when they were done thank you very much. *shiver* that would be brutal.
Then roll the fight yourself.
Dice wars Rock.
But Drizzt would survive as Parce said, probably rescued by the Drow so that they can punish and kill him again. Of course he escapes, killing the top-ten list of the realms most powerful demons, as well 27 incarnations of Artemis Entreri on his way back to the surface ...
the canadian mounties would run them off!
(hey its fantasy afterall :P)

What was the name of Drizzt's fatass halfling sidekick? I could've sworn it was Regis.
't was.
