[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8021100, member: 7023887"] You misunderstood, then. I do not do roleplay penalties based on the power of the race, I do the things that most of us do: Have a dwarf dislike halflings because they have too much energy and aren't serious enough. Have humans hate Yuan-Ti, Orcs, and Drow because they normally kill humans. There are good Orcs and Drow, but the general population is suspicious of them. This is also based on setting. In Forgotten Realms, this is true for most people. In my homebrew world, there are only certain tribes of bad orcs, so only in the regions around those orcs this is true. Have gnomes and kobolds hate each other. It is this kind of thing that I do in my games. I honestly don't care how powerful drow are, as far as I've seen, they're not OP in any way. Don't assume I mean one thing, just ask for clarifications. If one of my players wants to play a certain character, I will allow that. If it's such a far-fetched race that it wouldn't work in a certain setting, I switch settings or location in the world. I do not punish characters for making different and unique characters. I make the world be realistic, and complications that arise from their race happen as I need them. Now, tell me, have you never had any characters or NPCs discriminate against any other creature because of their race? If so, do tell me how you accomplished this great feat. [/QUOTE]
