Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tharivious" data-source="post: 3455138" data-attributes="member: 28105">Just a side-note here: Evil and xenophobic =/= unable to function socially.  Unlikely to trust others fully, sure; likely to betray trusts, naturally; but that doesn't mean that they can't do quite well in social situations.  Some of the most sociable people in the world are pathological liars that thrive on manipulating others, or deranged types that use their social talents to insinuate themselves into a position where they can strike the most damaging way that they know how.Now, for the random tangent of the day, aimed at no one in particular, but spurred by the mere mention of it:For the love of all that is unholy, please don't encourage more good aligned drow.  Even in Faerun where the erroneously designed pantheon allows for it (this is personal opinion, don't try to argue me off of this point, it won't work), it still doesn't make any more sense than good aligned drow arising from the inherently evil race on Oerth.  They wouldn't survive to adolescence, let alone adulthood - the other children would see the unwilling aspect in the good drow to do what drow should do, and kill it for sport and then be rewarded for it.  Surface races, unless somehow everyone in a town is painfully naive, would never allow one to grow up in their midst, even as an orphan, because as soon as one person saw it, there would be the standard-issue torch-carrying-mob-with-pitchforks on the way.  Neutral alignments push the envelope far enough in my opinion, since they can at least fake what they have to do to be proper drow.Then again, I'm just a stickler for logic in setting design *shrugs*.  If people enjoy that sort of inexplicable lapse in logic, more power to them.</blockquote>
