Ok so THIS is what I was after since our initial convo was about lazy design of the fluff and the racism, not to say that your template idea isn't a good one. It is! We could likely fill an entire book with templates for various tiers and I would certainly be interested in one.
But getting back to this - I actually like your idea of these 3 "alignment" variants, are you happy with the current technological depiction of orcs or would that also factor into these 3. For example, orcs are usually depicted with the barbaric slant and that has its own clichè trappings, if you know what I mean or is that not an issue anymore? Given that we are reflecting evil elves and halflings (evil pretty variants)
