[QUOTE="erf_beto, post: 3905066, member: 47533"] The beauty of Points of Light setting concept. My PoL1 can be about a human setlement, with only humans allowed. There are no monsters around, just wolves and other natural (ocasional) predators... But south of there, unknow to the humans, there's a small PoL2 comunity of dragonborn worshiping Bahamut, and to the north there's a dwarven tunnel leading through the mountains to a PoL3 merchant town near the ocean, where every race coexist pacifically. If I don't like eladrin or tiefling, there's no need to be something like that nearby - they'll be nothing more than a bed time story told to children... If a players wants to be an eladrin (wich I'd advise against, even though he could be from the far far away PoL 52), he'll have to come up with a story as to why he's the only eladrin around and I'll need to aprove it. The reaction whenever he enters an inn or a town will depend on where he is entering. as it should be: the humans will be weary, the dragonborn not so much, but the merchant town will not even notice his pointy ears. Isn't that what happens in our own world? Certain countries are still uneasy about foreigners and some even forbid women (of their own race) to stay at some places... It was stronger before, but sadly racism is still a part of the world. It could be different in a fantasy world, but no one said it should be. [/QUOTE]
