That is to say, the average peasant wants to be left alone, but has at heart the will to be helpful and just, even if only slightly. The majority will not be out to steal from the PC's sleeping in the barn etc.I think it should be this way. After all, why be heroic and 'rescue the poor peasants' if they are in general a bunch of mean spirited neutral leaning towards evil bastards?I mean: If the civilization which is threatened is not inherently good, why should the hero try to stop it's destruction? The heroes should egg on (pun intended) the nasty villain, in the hopes of a better world rising from the ashes!Thus, even though a majority of RULERS may be pragmatic tending towards evil, this is merely a function of the corruptive power of power. Magistrates embroiled in the power struggles of the game politic would be more tempted to use evil means (bribery, assassination etc.), even if their end goal was in the beginning a lofty one.So at 'conception', most humans in my worlds would be 'good', but over the course of their lives, some may be tempted towards evil. Most common folk face little temptation, and so retain their 'inherent' good tendencies. (Naturally all manner of exceptions exist etc.)</blockquote>
