Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9360072" data-attributes="member: 6801228">Okay. So... what? Adventuring party tossing around a dragon's hoard worth of jewels and gold has a fancy robot with them. The townsfolk panic and go to the local lord. The local lord shows up and... what? Murders the entire party and enslaves the robot? Why? Do they attack every powerful mage or warrior who goes through their territory? Seems like a bad idea, seems like that would cause problems for them, seems like something the party might have heard about before. And how would that be different than say... an elven paladin walking through town? Would the townsfolk in good or evil areas not ALSO react extremely to that? Are there no elven racists (false, the scarlet brotherhood exists) It just gets... kind of exhausting. All of these assumptions get made about how "oh, you don't look like you are from Lord of the Rings, therefore you will be driven from towns" but people don't start applying similar logic to, well, EVERYTHING. I've never heard of a party finding a desperate villager running down the road, panicked about a demoninc invasion, only to rush in and find three tieflings confusedly looking for somewhere to sleep for the night. It only seems to be that these things happen when someone wants to play a tielfling character, and then every effort is made to force them to regret that choice, so that their next character conforms. Which just... isn't how a world full of so many strange and bizarre things would function.</blockquote>
