Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 6310027" data-attributes="member: 18">Sure, but so would most races.Dragonborn definitely would fail that test - even the Metallic Dragons are cantankerous, unreliable beggars, who would not doubt be (mostly accurately given many are CG) accused of stealing sheep and cows and so on, and Chromatic Dragons are pretty much the worst, and much more present on the Prime Material plane than demons, so you, Dragon-monster-man, are obviously going to be "next on the list". So would a wide variety of D&D races. Drow obviously. All humanoids. Most "freak" races. I could go on.But the thing is, the "lynch test" is a false test, because the D&D world can't possibly work that way, or it would be a horrible ultra-racist racewar stinkhole, where every race murdered every other (if you lynch people for looking scary even though they've just done great good, as you suggest), so we can safely assume that generally, you don't get lynched just for looking scary - people are used to scary-looking-folk. Further, you'd be lynching children - Tieflings don't spring into the world fully-formed - nor do other races, and that's some sick business.I mean, you reference 2E PS - the main reason that Tieflings don't get murdered isn't just the cosmopolitan nature, it's that they genuinely aren't much more likely to be evil than anyone else. In a world where Tieflings had existed for thousands of years, this would probably be a known thing.</blockquote>
