[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 9734582, member: 1125"] I think monsters should be people, pets or creatures of horror. IRL Fey were once creatures of horror, but have become twee and ubiquitous as elves - "Elves[I] are terrific, they beget terror!", [/I]same thing has happened to Orcs, which given they are near-human makes sense as we dont need fantasy proxies for real world racism. But I do like monsters and a bit of terror. I think the non human Ancestries provide for that. Humans should be wary of predators like Dragons and Tabaxis and Thrikeen, equally Demonspawn should stir emotional angst - and pitchforks. OR maybe the response will be fascination like theyre pets - Kobolds, Gobs and similar exploit their child-like size, birdfolk, tabaxi Tieflings and elfs invoke 'cuteness'. Of course in game events should matter to, there should be as much prejudice against Human raiders, Dwarf Pirates and Red Wizards as there is against lizardfolk and drow. [/QUOTE]
