[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 3727842, member: 8439"] I can't count the stories I've read about D&D characters mining for gold or silver, so I'll just assume that all precious metals in the world comes from dragon's hordes... :p Yes, it's perfectly legitamate to say that your half* was born from war rape and be angsty about it. The idea that this is therefore the only explanation when orcs in the current edition are an "often evil" race (less commonly evil than drow), not a demon spawned abomination is what's silly to me. *Tanis half elven was a war rape child, but thats not the default half elf explaination - because elves are pretty and humans must be acceptable to them? edit : And why the false dicotomy between "rape" and "falling in love"? You think human mercaneries turn down the orcish camp followers when they stop to trade? You think an orc's gold is any worse than a stinky dwarf's who hasn't changed his armor since he got back from campaign to a whore in a port city? I'm not skipping the "gritty" explainations for halfbreeds, I'm just aknowledging all of them. ;) [/QUOTE]
