[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7396775, member: 6670153"] Evil humaniod races aren't the same as evil fiends or monsterous races like Beholders, none of them are inheriently evil. So maybe your Grey Dwarf was raised by humans or regular Dwarves, or you Drow was raise by renegade surface Drow and was never exposed to Lolthian Drow culture, or your Hobgoblin was raised to serve in the Chill Mercanary group and often worked for and with humans and absorbed some of their values, maybe your the Bastard child of a Yuan Ti Pureblood father who seduced your human mother for intel, or your an isolated family of Bugbears who found the idea of being evil too much work, so you took an easier spying job for Elves. Or maybe your an Orc from many arrows, an attempt by Orcs to create a nation that is more civilized. Or any of these races that works for the Zhents are trained by them, they undoubtedly trained on how to conduct themselves. Also Lawful Evil races tend to learn to respect order and hierarchy so they are less likely to go and commit senseless go crazy, its an easier transition imo to good or neutral alignment then say an orc from a wild tribe.
