[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 7927258, member: 59554"] I mean, arguments about humanoids and non-sapient creatures aside, I personally find Red Dragons=EVIL kinda lame. I mean they are very magical creatures, so w/e, but I also they are very intelligent beings so I see no reason why some of them can't decide to be good or evil or whatever alignment the MM says they're supposed to be. orcs have like, what, one god? it feels like the "evil" races just have the one god who created them and therefore they "have to" be evil. okay how is that different from human raiders coming to town? why? and this needs to apply to every setting with orcs and goblins? what do these "tools" have to do with good and evil? "some of my strongest characters are played by females!" how is this at all germane to the conversation? what an original story O: but how about this: a setting where orcs aren't seen as inherently evil. the half orc paladin still becomes famous for slaying Kharak, but doesn't have to jump through a million hoops to get treated like a normal person. also this feels kind of pointless unless she also convinced the kingdom that orcs aren't all evil. to be fair there's a number of religions that are still very active and have a lot of worshipers but get treated like they're "mythologies" akin to Greek or Norse. Hinduism and Shitnoism are the two I notice a lot lol [/QUOTE]
