[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7903590, member: 7015558"] An excellent point. For those who don't know it by heart; [B][I]Dragonborn. [/I][/B]It's easy to assume that a dragon born is a monster, especially if his or her scales betray a chromatic heritage. Unless the dragon born starts breathing fire and causing destruction, though, people are likely to respond with caution rather than outright fear. [I][B]Gnome.[/B][/I] Gnomes don't look like a threat and can quickly disarm suspicion with good humor. The common folk are often curious about gnomes, likely never having seen one before, but they are rarely hostile or fearful. [B][I]Half-Elf.[/I][/B] Although many people have never seen a half-elf, virtually everyone knows they exist. A half-elf stranger's arrival is fol lowed by gossip behind the half-elf's back and stolen glances across the common room, rather than any confrontation or open curiosity. [B][I]Half-Orc. [/I][/B]It's usually safe to assume that a half-orc is belligerent and quick to anger, so people watch themselves around an unfamiliar half-ore. Shopkeepers might surreptitiously hide valuable or fragile goods when a half-orc comes in, and people slowly clear out of a tavern, assuming a fight will break out soon. [I][B] Tiefling. [/B][/I]Half-orcs are greeted with a practical caution, but tieflings are the subject of supernatural fear. The evil of their heritage is plainly visible in their features, and as far as most people are concerned, a tiefling could very well be a devil straight from the Nine Hells. People might make warding signs as a tiefling approaches, cross the street to avoid passing near, or bar shop doors before a tiefling can enter. [/QUOTE]
