[QUOTE="Stone Dog, post: 2933310, member: 16705"] The alignment thing isn't limited to outsiders. Dragons are listed as "always" critters so you can pretty much know that if it isn't all glittery and shiney it is an evil creature. Sphinxes are also victims of alignment profiling. Even though orcs are merely "often" chaotic evil the way they are protrayed in most settings and novels you might as well say "always." Eberron makes a point to blur the lines even further so that guessing something's alignment based on its species isn't very useful. That sort of thing is profiling and profiling is wrong. ;) As to the overabundance of adventurers, this is mostly in a contrast to Forgotten Realms where Adventurer is actually a social class that countries have laws to deal with.
