[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9141426, member: 7025282"] I want the best of both worlds. This is close to it. Without an assumption, you cannot play against type. Instead of drizzt, you have “this drow behaves differently than they do in this one colony” I am not even against repentant fiends… Creatures having the ability to differ from the majority in behavior is interesting… There is enough in the books as is to suggest you can differ from the norm. We can do this without fretting over 51 vs. 49 percent of tieflings being naughty. Maybe be more explicit or have a longer discussion in the MM. 70% of DEVIL people being naughty does not offend me. This seems to make more sense—-you can clearly show degrees of freedom and make the statement that goodness is not biologically determined while still communicating a lot of yuan ti eat people. This would be far more expedient while not dismantling established lore in favor of milquetoast lore to make things inoffensive. [/QUOTE]
