[QUOTE="renau1g, post: 4416659, member: 54810"] I was originally against the MM races more of the idea that I just didn't want to see a bunch of "good" characters of nongood races... it just didn't sit well with me as I've always had a closed minded (admitedly) view that players are heroes and monsters deserve to be slain and if we have an artificial limit of the rare combos I couldn't think of a fair way to do it (besides maybe first come first serve)....but as the group has agreed that monsters are an acceptable PC race I think that they'll need to be incorporated as a potentially neutral group (well some of them). I could see bugbears operating as sort of mercanary groups that the Imperium uses (similar to the later days of the Roman empire) hobgoblins as well. Drow I see as the biggest stretch because they are so evil (except after the coming of Drizzt ;) ), but I'm sure a good story can be spun. [/QUOTE]
