[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 3753606, member: 34958"] I like the idea. In a campaign I ran the formians were extremely rational, and were willing to eradicate other formian colonies for resources if need be. The party had the option to stop the attempted genocide of opposing colonies if they could find enough resources for the two to thrive, otherwise they would find themselves in between two warring factions. My players used to get frustrated that they couldn't provoke emotional anger in the formians when they would tell one colony's leader that the other colony planned to poison them and basically practice genocide. The friendlier formian leader seemed somewhat disappointed in the tactic, but otherwise conceded that the other formians were being very logical and reasonable in their murderous goals. The players were floored by his reaction and gave up trying to have the two sides come to terms. [/QUOTE]
