[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 7073014, member: 6750306"] I'm pretty liberal with running whatever as far as races and classes, although I do insist that the player work to fit the character into the campaign world - but I also generally have no problem refluffing a particular race or class as an anomaly/lost traveler/wizard-did-it/whatever if having an entire race of them doesn't fit well with the pre-existing fiction of the world. Like, say, there may not be warforged in the world, but there could be an Awakened animated statue or sentient free-willed golem. And I've always preferred the old-school random-appearance tieflings to the fluff and art direction of the 4E ones, so random plane-touched characters of any kind aren't much of a stretch. The so-called "monstrous" races like drow, dragonborn, tieflings, kobolds, etc., are likely to get stared at or even discriminated against, but are unlikely to be killed on sight since even peasants in the fields know that they live in a world of dragons and magic and will generally pause and stare long enough for the idea that the character seems non-hostile to take hold. A creature dressed and acting in a civilized and intelligent fashion, particularly one dressed as an adventurer in a party of other adventurers, is unlikely to be directly accosted. [/QUOTE]
