Message: <blockquote data-quote="ComradeGnull" data-source="post: 6009281" data-attributes="member: 6685694">Fun idea. My two bits:Pride: Hobgoblins. Racist, expansionist, militaristic. You can just see hobgoblins holding giant parades before marching off to slaughter anyone who has insulted them.Envy: I like [MENTION=359]SteelDraco[/MENTION]'s idea of goblins here. They want treasure, but not to work hard, so they steal. They destroy beautiful things because they can't make them. They loot and steal and live in the ruins of whatever is left over. I can easily see goblins living on the fringes of demi-human society, stealing and vandalizing until their resentment boils over into an orgy of violence and arson.Wraith: Orcs. Orcs are unrestrained fury and id. Their Chaotic Evil society is pure survival of the strongest, angriest, and most ruthless.Sloth: Ogres. Ogres are lazy. They build nothing, grow nothing, and, whenever possible, do nothing. They can be motivated only by bribes and direct threats. They prefer to just live off of whatever falls into their lap, which is why despite their size and strength they never have anything of any quality or use.Lust: This is definitely the hardest, given D&D's historic squeamishness about sex. I'm tempted to pick Gnolls, given the unique sexual dimorphism of hyenas and the role it plays in their real-world social organization. Not to mention that as demon worshipers, they are probably always on the look out for nubile young women to abduct.Gluttony: Trolls. Always hungry, never growing fatter. Trolls eat anything and everything and need to be eating constantly. I can easily see a backstory for trolls where their progenitor was cursed to be eternally hungry for some sin, like the Hungry Ghosts in Indian/East Asian mythology.</blockquote>
