However, IME, the statement “a lot of the appeal of Goliaths is being the fairly normal big strong race”, still stands. And I just...it’s a culture. How hard is it to say, “my character doesn’t believe that Goliath culture is healthy, and wants to change it/has no interest in going back bc of it/whatever”. And as a DM, it seems vastly easier to start an FR campaign, and when a player brings up Goliaths in session 0, say “ignore the survival of the fittest stuff. Instead, in our FR, they have gatherholds/they drop off those who can’t cut it with hill dwarfs or humans and those Goliaths often adventure or become merchants and crafts folk”, than to say, “orcs don’t have an evil society, Gruumsh is Chaotic Neutral, some orc gods are Chaotic Good, and orcs are more like WoW orcs.” But maybe for some DMs changing origins and God’s is just as easy as recalibrating a culture’s priorities. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
