The gnoll trick in BG1EE still works very well, unmodded as of Jan 2019. I think if you're invisible and make hasted, diagonal crosses across the map so that Drizzt will be in your LoS for just one sec, he tends not to notice you(the gnolls won't anyway as you are invisible). Back before BG was enchanced I recall killing him with unlimited wand of summoning but while you don't get the exp, this is reasonably cheaper and you don't lose reputation.

Another good way to steal his/his party's gear in BG2:EE if this is your first play and don't have the spells and gear to face him head-on is to ask them for help with Bodhi and approach the room they spawn(in the first floor of the lair of Bodhi) from from the East side. This is the mess hall where about 15 vampires are happily waiting for you, so get in there with an invisible character and approach Drizzt's room carefully so that Drizzt's party will never be in your LoS. This way, the vampires will aggro on Drizzt's party and start attacking/killing them, starting with Wulfgar. Wulfgar is very weak against undead with no negative plane protection, he will take 5 hits max and perish so Drizzt will be next on target very soon. The vampires and especially the named ones are quite tough compared to BG1 gnolls so it'll take 2-3minutes max for them to slay Drizzt, another 3-4 hits each for Bruenor, Regis and Cattie-brie. I didn't feel particularly bad doing this because if Gorion's Ward gets charmed by the vampires Drizzt will beat him/her to pulp anyway.

I understand that he's a great hero of R.A.Salvatore's novels and I do have several of the books, but quoting someone(probably a priest of Helm or something) in-game, I judge the characters by their deeds and not their reputation. Drizzt and party may be good aligned, but I never cared much for him slaughtering the lowbie gnolls as he did so I try to kill/make him die whenever I play. If you're for the gear though, IIRC another friend of his steals your(his?) gear back away from you even if you loot him like this.
